Let's say just for the joy of it, I decide that I don't want to write desktop applications in Java any more, instead want to switch to using C#. I want to be able to build an application that will run on some mainstream Linux distribution, and a recent release of MS Windows. It will have a GUI component.
In Java I can build an application that uses Swing. Once I have it working, I can copy that jar file from Windows to Linux or vice versa, depending where I developed it. And it will generally run with java -jar myapp.jar.
In C# is it possible to do this? Is there a functional equivalent to Swing or AWT in C#?

All operating systems are written in C. So, any application, console/GUI you write in C is the standard way of writing for the operating system.
GTK is a popular GUI that works with C .
August 4, 2022. A cross-platform GUI is a great tool for designing apps and software that can run seamlessly on: Android, iOS, macOS, Windows, and Linux. So why create apps for different platforms when you can make one for all in less effort and expense?
To develop C++ GUI or C++ graphical user interface application, you need an IDE that supports the C++ GUI application. To create the GUI app, you must use Visual Studio 2019 because it is better suited for the C++ GUI application.
There's Eto.Forms (on github), which is an abstraction layer on top of WPF, WinForms, GTK, and MonoMac/Cocoa - so you can get a native UI on all platforms without having to re-implement for each platform. You don't have to suffer from lowest common denominator, since you can implement specifics for each platform (if desired, but not required).
It has an advantage that it is pure .NET and only relies on OS-supplied dependencies, as opposed to using GTK or WxWidgets where you'd have to bundle the native binaries for various platforms.
