There's no way that name is going to last. They're going to find a cute, new name for it (Silverlight is spare at the moment, isn't it?).
The cute new name will mean it is clear what is being deprecated in due course...

My question is, WHY haven't they done any work getting WPF apps to be able to run in Linux?
I already kinda know the answer to that question (various compositors and blah blah blah), but that doesn't mean they can't pick the two most popular ones and initially just support those two.

 Even if they just targeted Gnome, wouldn't that give them a big chunk o' distros?
(also, see the MAUI bit I just posted, although it seems Linux is missing from the target list)

Who are the typical users of WPF applications?
Who are the typical Linux affectionados?
How big is the overlapt?
How much does it cost to port WPF apps to Linux?
What is the cost per user?

It shouldn't cost *anything* (if it's done right). Simply recompile for the desired environment, and you're off and running.

Why not use Avalonia if you want WPF API on Linux!?

Seems like it ain't ready for prime time. I wasn't aware that WPF had been open-sourced, but the whole goal here is to write the code once, and recompile for the desired environment (namely, Linux with OpenGL).
With .Net Core, making WPF truly "multi-platform" should be easier, and invisible to the developer.

I never used it, so I cant say..
But it seems totally ready for prime time, as far as I can see...
What make you think the opposite?

Because apps that look and feel like sh*t are needed!
(BTW, Qt has been doing this for a while.)

You mean, have a look and feel like sh*t ?

How many things are going to get broken due to this?

If something has a solution... Why do we have to worry about?. If it has no solution... For what reason do we have to worry about?

We have to wait for the next Windows update to see.

Microsoft is continuing its quest to try to get Win32 developers to adopt more 'modern' Windows 10 platform elements. That effort now has a name, Project Reunion, and its first two official libraries. So put on your name tag and mingle by the punch bowl

Microsoft Q&A, the place to get answers to all your technical questions on Microsoft products and services, was launched on October 30, 2019 as a Preview with support for 11 services. Since then, we have onboarded more services and released key features so you can get your technical answers faster. Time will tell if it's a Major Disaster

Probably already answered on SO +and marked as a duplicate.+ 
Or:
Oh yay! Another MS site where we can get a canned, "You have said you are having problems with X. ... ... ... (a lot of verbiage). Please give us more information... Hopefully this helps you!" Over the course of five paragraphs.
(and then locking the thread.)

Ugh, right. I had blocked their previous “support” site from my brain (and blocked it from search), and forgot how frequently useless it was. Outsourcing responses to first-tier folk rarely help. 
And gamifying it so the MVPs stay on it doesn’t help much either.

It's not even verbiage, but often outright buttlicking, culminating with absolutely no useful information whatsoever.

The five stages of MS support:
- Run
sfc /scannow and dism /Online /Cleanup-image /RestoreHealth; - If that doesn't work, here's how to create a new profile, losing all of your work and every service linked to your Microsoft account.
- Didn't work? Time to nuke your computer and rebuild from scratch.
- Still didn't work? We can't reproduce the problem because you didn't provide enough information, despite the step-by-step instructions in your original question.
- Closed as "WontFix".

So they have new craptastic support to replace the old craptastic support?

MS devs following their own tags on Stackoverflow was the only MS support I ever had that didn't suck. I even managed to get them to (eventually) fix a bug/add a missing feature. Of course they have to go and blow it up. 
Did you ever see history portrayed as an old man with a wise brow and pulseless heart, weighing all things in the balance of reason?
Is not rather the genius of history like an eternal, imploring maiden, full of fire, with a burning heart and flaming soul, humanly warm and humanly beautiful?
