How did you confirm that this was the cause of the problem? By replacing the memory chips with known good ones?

Microsoft's UI toolkits are mostly Windows only (WinForms, WPF), or are missing support for Linux (MAUI).

Only third-party projects (like Avalonia) support Windows, MacOS, Linux, and mobile, but those are not an official part of .NET.

It could be a combination of enormous technical debt, high complexity caused by many layers of backward compatibility, and something else I have observed in one of their open-source projects: the capable and experienced people moving (or being moved) to a different team/project and the maintenance getting handed to other people that are way less experienced/capable.

Then you better hope that they did not add any markings to the source code that identify you.

Yes, they should stop Waymo often.

Since when is a compiler considered part of an operating system? Especially when talking about Windows?

Jennifer Lawrence might do that as well.
