WIKI MAUI Linux .NET

Welcome to the **MAUI Linux .NET Wiki** — a community-driven effort to make [.NET MAUI](https://github.com/dotnet/maui) fully functional on Linux platforms.

Our goal is to provide developers with a modern, native .NET UI framework that runs seamlessly on **GNOME**, **KDE**, and other Linux environments.

🚧 Project Status

The **MAUI-Linux** project aims to provide Linux support for MAUI apps through a GTK and/or Skia-based backend.

However, the project currently faces significant challenges:

  • ⚙️ **Lack of up-to-date documentation** – many components are undocumented or outdated.
  • 🧩 **Compilation difficulties** – even experienced developers struggle to build the current codebase.
  • 💤 **Stalled development** – the repository has seen no major commits for months.
  • 👥 **No active community** – due to missing guidance and setup instructions, new contributors often give up early.

The result: a promising idea without an active ecosystem. Our mission is to change that — by cleaning up, documenting, and rebuilding the project so others can join in easily.

💪 How You Can Help

The **MAUI Linux revival** depends on contributors from all areas:

  • **Developers** – improve the build system, fix runtime issues, modernize dependencies.
  • **Documentation writers** – write “Getting Started” and troubleshooting pages.
  • **Testers** – verify builds across Ubuntu, Fedora, Arch, and Wayland/X11.
  • **Designers** – improve theming and native integration.

See the How to Start page to get your environment ready and join the development.

🧭 Getting Started

If you want to build or test MAUI on Linux:

  • Follow our How to Start guide.
  • Join the discussion on GitHub or Matrix/Discord.
  • File issues and document what works (and what doesn’t).

Every small improvement helps the entire ecosystem.
