Puts chain mail on

Sigh..

Windows. Because gaming.

Windows isn't a bad OS. It's not perfect but neither is Linux. I use Windows because I love .NET and because of gaming.

[–] RippleEffect@lemmy.world 4 points 1 year ago

Yup, gaming and at this point I'm pretty entrenched.

I've tried Linux multiple times and might try it again, but usually it comes down to gaming.

I develop on C# and game heavily, both things on Linux Mint.

How do you build ui apps on Linux?? If there's a way to build aWPF app on Linux I'd definitely be stoked.

[–] dustyData@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Specifically WPF there's Avalonia. But you got MAUI, and Uno. I won't say Mono, because…well…Mono. But there are choices.

[–] TurianHammer@lemm.ee 1 points 1 year ago

If you tell me MAUI or Uno are better than WinUI I'd be tempted to try. I think I upset the poor Bing AI asking questions about WinUI the other day when it finally gave up and said something akin to "It seems like WinUI may not be ready for what you are trying to accomplish yet."
