net for Linux and look at how much mindshare it's starting to generate (TypeScript indirectly enjoys a similar phenomenon). Going the other direction, Microsoft has no problems maintaining.
#Firstclass client for linux android
As is railroading conversation about this out of sight into the discussions area where it can be safely ignored.Īs clever of an answer as it seems, here's how people see the situation: Android is open source too, but Microsoft has spared no expense there for maui.

For a company trying to push such a progressive agenda, gaslighting Linux users by "explaining" that because Linux is open source, the only way to have Linux support is from the community is frankly cruel. I also want to comment on the official responses to calls for Linux support. Not because the telemetry and feedback indicate it, but because until it's truly cross-platform, Microsoft is still sending the "We want to lure you into Windows" signal. Moreover if Microsoft really wants maui to succeed, then they should know that lack of first class Linux support is basically what will ultimately hold it back. Especially one that has been so obviously neglected due to internal policy. Nobody is going to come and completely reimplement one in a long streak of desktop SDK+library flops just for Internet points. But knowing that Microsoft gets colder quarter after quarter on "we love Linux", the official take so far here comes as no surprise.

I would normally have been quite excited to hear about maui.
