WPF is not the best example of open source, as some components are still closed source. Though it only runs on Windows, a closed source operating system, so perhaps that is not so important.

That said, there are cross platform, open source .NET UI frameworks out there, including one that is inspired by WPF:

Recently, my friends and I recreated our old LAN parties. Went up to a cabin in the woods, brought some cheap network switches, and had everyone install OpenRA (https://www.openra.net/, open red alert), and had a blast, even with everyone on laptops (mac/win). You can still do this in 2024 and it's worth it!
To highlight this shift, we are introducing a new website which is now fully automated with Github. The paint is still fresh, but we hope to expand it with more information about the MonoGame Foundation, like how it operates, and how to join it or contribute.
Project mention: Ask HN: Interesting TUIs (text user interfaces), maybe forgotten ones? | news.ycombinator.com | 2024-05-06As someone who writes software for moderately boring business operations, I've been wondering making terminal-based apps with lots of keyboard shortcuts would lead to a more productive end user than writing a web app.
I've been looking at https://github.com/gui-cs/Terminal.Gui but haven't tried it yet.
Project mention: Uno: Create Beautiful Cross Platform .NET Apps Faster | news.ycombinator.com | 2024-05-01
Yes, it's what Slack, VS Code and bunch of other apps are based on. Electron: https://www.electronjs.org/ Electron.NET: https://github.com/ElectronNET/Electron.NET
Project mention: AvaloniaUI: Create Multi-Platform Apps with .NET | news.ycombinator.com | 2024-02-03
It looks like the port was compiled with a binary SkiaSharp [0] since that requires Google tooling to build. Interesting to see the committer allowing this. Apparently it is not the first time.

Project mention: AvaloniaUI: Create Multi-Platform Apps with .NET | news.ycombinator.com | 2024-02-03But I think some of this stuff is already handled in Avalonia ecosystem like https://github.com/Mapsui/Mapsui, https://github.com/beto-rodriguez/LiveCharts2 and few others...
Project mention: Runs on your OpenWrt box: AdGuard Home is network-wide blocking ads and tracking | news.ycombinator.com | 2024-02-06It works on minimal hardware. I am running it on an Orange Pi 3 LTS.

I personally use this LiteNetLib
You might have noticed when you were looking in NuGet, there was a package called coverlet installed into the project:
Project mention: OpenTablet Driver guide for Huion Kamvas 24 4k on windows 10 (but maybe other tablets too) in particular for painting | /r/huion | 2023-11-09First follow the installation guide on https://opentabletdriver.net/
If its caching you could just use ready made packages - https://github.com/jamesmontemagno/monkey-cache - https://github.com/reactiveui/akavache/
