    Ok, there’s no such thing as native Windows apps for Linux, but there are cross platform GUI frameworks like Avalonia and Uno that can produce apps with a polished identical experience across all platforms, no electron needed

        Good lord, I’ve never seen anyone say this in public. I used Qt Creator for a couple of years and I found the combination of C++ for under the hood and Javascript for the UI to be a fantastic way of ensuring a nearly nonexistent base of developers who could competently do both. Maybe they grow on trees in Finland, I dunno. And maybe you’re talking about some other “Qt”, I also dunno.

        I’ve done C# and Java extensively as well and I would never choose Qt over them. I might choose Qt over Objective-C, however.
