Linux support in .NET MAUI

Linux runs on a high diversity of devices of different form factors and possibilities. .NET MAUI will give official support to Android, iOS, macOS and Windows. The purpose of this issue is to collect feedback to specify possible actions at the **community** level to review Linux support in .NET MAUI. Linux support in Xamarin.Forms is achieved thanks to a backend using GTK Sharp 2.12. Possible options for **.NET MAUI**: - Use the Xamarin.Forms backend by updating Handlers and other changes. It could also be upgraded to GTK 3: https://github.com/GtkSharp/GtkSharp - Reuse as much as possible from the actual GTK 2 Backend and create bindings library for GTK 4? - Use GTK as a container, but use drawn controls: https://github.com/dotnet/GraphicsControls - Other? (Add your feedback) Add your **feedback**!. What do you think is the best option to add Linux support to .NET MAUI? What would you use it for (Raspberry PI Apps, IoT, Desktop App, etc)?
