What should I choose Windows or Mac OS for capture market?

Amit Padhiyar

I am indivisual developer and makes software related to Desktop GUI, Desktop Multimedia and Desktop Games. So my question purpose is, If I develop application related to above aims then should I choose cross-platform or windows or macOS? What is best desktop platform to deploy application for customers? Because I generally see when someone make cross-platform library but still not fully compartable with all OS. What is reason?

I already created some Windows only libraries. And if i want make cross-platform then i need to rewrite all libraries. So can anyone descibe which kind of software that i make can easily in cross-platform and which kind of applications should run on platform-specific?

You can use .NET Core/.NET 5 or later versions to create cross platform desktop applications.

If you are planning to build a software, you must focus on your audience and have data on them. For example, if your target customers are enterprises or individuals? What OS they use the most? That is what you can start with. You don't need to capture 100% market to be successful. You just need a small % of any OS would do that.

I heard about MAUI (DotNet 6) but it can take place of JavaFX or not i don't know. Can little tell about MAUI and its future? (Here JavaFX means cross-platform UI for desktop and mobiles but in XAML and C#).
