XAML (WPF / UWP) is designed to be declarative; while you can also use procedural code to create the UI. It has a designer that works at design time and while debugging.
Windows Forms is procedural only; almost impossible to work with without the "designer".
If you think you can create a web page using pure HTML(5), you can handle XAML at some level.

I been doing WinForms without the designer for years, and it's not that hard to create it from code.
I often go for WinForms when I want the app to run from my Ubuntu-machine

I've worked on Windows Forms quite a bit in the past; a few commercial ones.
I once mocked WPF when it didn't have a "data grid".
With swiping, having controls that can go in 2 directions, with accuracy, becomes a challenge. You soon start making more imaginative list views; easy in WPF, even more in UWP, nearly impossible in Windows Forms. And so on.
If you're "creative", you "need" the WPF / UWP model.

I heard that before; for those who are not swiping, there is no issue. If I would develop something for a tablet or phone, I'd go for a website, not a rich UI.
Again, if I had no Linux-machine, I would probably have gone the WPF-route too. Having a recognizable UI, cross-platform, with tons of documentation and an experienced workforce, does count for something 
It does sound somewhat ironic to have WinForms because part of your intended audience is on Linux, but that's life. WPF isn't supported there, and they like having a UI they recognize over the GTK-stuff.

Never saw Unix, Linux as other than a back end for "big servers".
Used to try and cover all the bases. Found a home (finally) in C#. Then WPF. Then Windows 10, UWP and the MS Surface.
Fortunately, I only have to please myself on this one and can tell what the competition looks like.
The cost of admission is also cheaper (for me).

You have to go with the one you know best already UNLESS you wish to add the other to your skill set. Assuming you have winforms experience you will find WPF a rather steep learning curve.
Personally I love WPF despite the designer. I also like that the same XAML principles are used in Xamarin.

If you want to eventually run you app in Linux, go with WinForms. that's the only compelling reason to use WinForms, IMHO.
As already mentioned, WPF has a steep learning curve, but IMHO, it's worth the effort.
I don't mind the designer in either framework, but in WPF, I don't drag/drop controls into forms, and instead, prefer to actually write the markup manually.
I wrote my last WinForms app way bay in 2011, and have been doing strictly WPF since.
If you want an example of WinForms vs WPF, I wrote a game using WinForms, and then wrote a WPF version of it to teach myself WPF.

It is also a bit more mature than WPF; millions of eyes have seen the common controls. Also not much change expected there, so no new versions that break your application.
If you want a standarized library, with recognizable controls that have been tested to death, with tutorials for accessability-features available, you go WinForms.

Millions of eyes have been on WPF too. For all intents and purposes, I think both frameworks are equally matured (WPF is overr 10 years old).

That is Simple!
If you need something quick and easy: WinForm.
Else: WPF.
I prefer WPF.
But there are occasions where a WinForm application will be better.
In some cases, even a Console application can be better than WinForm. (If the UI is not important and just want something that works).

You have asked us to do all the work for you. You have not shown any code that you have done nor have you explained clearly where you are stuck.
