<![CDATA[.NET6 on UT]]>Hi all!
Is it possible to develop applications with .NET6 for UT? I was thinking of Avalonia.UI or Uno Platform.

I know it's not nice but it's "the future". For VSCodium I let everything run through XMir and it shows. It's unstable, has issues that are hard to fix and changes the experience immensely depending on form factor.

If X11 is the only way then we should focus on getting XWayland working well.

With that being said, I don't expect anyone to support Mirclient any longer. We depend on it hard but I would not recommend it for new toolkits. It can be done but IMO the energy is best reserved for getting Wayland to work nicely.

@dizzy as I am a professional .NET dev I would also be interested in this. The biggest challenge would be to get Avalonia to work with Mir instead of X 😛 - by the way, did you see https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/dotnet/maui/what-is-maui - I think thats the future, and we should aim for this.

Avalonia is nice, but I dont feel there is much development happening.

@fredldotme maybe you can help with your expertise which API for rendering a UI we should use in the future (and, since 20.04 is "far", what we can do now in 16.04 :P)

Just have not got it running with Avalonia as a UI framework yet and maybe I never will. I have got it running on Phosh though, even if the scaling was all off. It opened as a movable window. Im talking about created and built with no modifications and thats what Im interesting in. Uno Platform gave the same result.
I dont know what Godot is.

I will try it again when my Pixel 3a arrives but then I don't have more time for it at the moment. Maybe in the future.

AppImages could theoretically be made to work, but none had dedicated themselves to the effort.

This is the executable. It's a single file, self contained application. EDIT: Ah. You meen like this of cause: sudo ./home/phablet/Documents/Avalonia.UT. Have tried that too.
I have also tried it in Downloads and Documents.
EDIT: Added info.
This error was because I compiled it for alpine-arm64.
When compiled for linux-arm64 console app runs and Avalonia app at least tryes to.

In case it does need root, then you need to provide the complete path to the executable.

It could also be that nothing is allowed to be executed in the Downloads folder.

Never heard of those two before so learned something new today! Thnx! 🙂

About .NET in combination with Linux in general :
You could try https://www.mono-project.com/ and see what happens when you add it to your phone...

Huge chance you will ending up flashing the phone again but it also might be worth it ?!

Good luck! 🙂

If it's GTK or SDL (something that uses Wayland to spawn window surfaces) then to some extent it could work, at least on Halium >= 9.0 and mainline devices.

I guess I just have to tryout a "Hellow world" application. Thanks!

@arubislander You can deploy both Avalonia and Uno apps self contained and as a single executable file, and it runs on Linux desktop. No installation needed. I have tried it on Ubuntu and Manjaro Gnome. Could that work on UT? Not optimal but a good start if so.

@dizzy It would depend on what those self-contained packages expect to be installed on the base system.
Desktops and laptops have many more packages installed than there are on Ubuntu Touch. Also the non-mainline devices use the Mir protocol for the display manager. The PinePhone uses the Wayland protocol. These need to be supported by the afore mentioned packages.

This probably being a game, the gaming engine would need to be included as well.

There are no tutorials or instructions on how to do this as it has as yet never been attempted.

I know for sure Avalonia and Uno Platform runs well on Linux desktop and can probably also run on for example Manjaro arm, but can it run on UT?
Have someone tried?
