In a surprise move at the Build 2018 conference, Microsoft have announced that three key components of the Windows user interface are now open-sourced. Kevin Gallo, MS VP for the Windows Developer Platform sums it up in a blog entry.
Announcing Open Source of WPF, Windows Forms, and WinUI at Microsoft Connect(); 2018
The newly opened-up components are critical for writing desktop applications and have so far been Windows-only.

Interest from beyond the Windows ecosystem might appear: when will we see ports to the Linux and Mac platforms, and what would it mean to their platform-specific toolkits GTK and Cocoa?

I could see that, all of the computers I've built over the same time period are perfectly functional. Well, one of them has an issue with booting from an SSD, but when it stalls on windows boot, I hit reset and it boots up again fine. Been doing that for the last year or two, so I figure if it ain't broke.
