Hm, WinForms and WPF with Wine you mean? Otherwise makes not much sense. Was WPF ever run in this combination!

[–] chaospatterns@lemmy.world 3 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Ah yeah. Mono didn't support WPF, but Mono did support running WinForms apps natively on Linux without using Wine.

The problem with WinForms is that at least serious 3rd party libraries do a lot of direct API calls I guess, hence Wine.
