According to this blog(https://devblogs.microsoft.com/dotnet/announcing-net-5-0-preview-1/), The .NET Core and .NET 5 (latest .NET platforms) will support WPF. But looks like the support is limited only to Windows OS.
Is there any recommendation to develop/build/run desktop GUI applications in Linux, that could reuses the .NET Core Libraries we have already created?
You have tons of UI frameworks to choose from https://blog.lextudio.com/the-story-about-net-cross-platform-ui-frameworks-dd4a9433d0ea Some people also develop Electron based user interface for their .NET Core based applications.

Hi,
just recently I've heard about a Multiplatform Application UI, take a look to this blog post:
https://devblogs.microsoft.com/dotnet/introducing-net-multi-platform-app-ui/
Best regards.

check out the ui library used to build edge for linux, i have been testing edge for linux for months and its looks stable but it may depend on what are you goin to build for example here is a link to check about skia https://techcommunity.microsoft.com/t5/discussions/which-one-is-better-skia-api-as-the-graphics-api-or-opengl-es/m-p/1260220
i havent tested it my self but it sems promising
the following link will help you to get informed on some of ui libraries used for crossplataform building
gtk# and skiasharp seems as the best optios for the cuestion in my opinion

We (Avalonia) decided to do what many thought impossible. We forked WPF and replaced the low levels with Avalonia and named it Avalonia XPF. It's API-compatible and binary-compatible, meaning all your favourite 3rd party controls continue to work! Right now, we support running on Windows, macOS and Linux. We expect to add iOS, Android and Browser (WASM) support later this year. If you want to try it, you can sign up for a trial on our website.
