> If you build something new today in .NET land you are using a version that is compatible out of the box with linux

This is not a generally true statement, particularly with anything involving UI. WPF or anything modern WinForms are not supported. MAUI has no official Linux support.

And neither is recommended to be used over AvaloniaUI (or Uno, or Gir.Core if you want to target just Linux), which supports it.

Given the amount of whining about Linux GUI support despite good and proven solutions being provided, it leaves me with an impression some parts of Linux community actually don't want support at all and the goal is to have a convenient scapegoat to complain about.
