Re: Using Avalonia
See @Michal_Burger post extract below from the following thread.

“Avalonia will not help us at all. It would mean to start UI development from the scratch. Please note, that eM Client is not based on WPF, but Windows Forms”
Also on your point about an Increase to 6% globally for Linux users by that Linux Experiment. That might be for eg: Linux servers, “but for end users” would still really be around 4% globally.
Also even if it was 6% global Linux end users, how many of them would actually pay to then warrant justifying developing the app. I agree with @skybat that I don’t think it’s viable atm. But obviously eM Client will make that decision.
Also see this post extract from @Michal_Burger on the possibility of eM Client with Wine on Linux.

“Yes, we continously monitor it and we have even made a proof of concept for the “Wine” option and cost analysis for “Wine” and “Native” options. Currently it is not justifiable, but this may change in the future. We may reconsider that again after eM Client 11 release”
