What GUI toolkit should I use

I have a C # application. Currently, all modules are written in .NET 2, and it uses some executables that have Linux ports. So I was wondering what tools should I use on Windows and MacOS to compile it as easily as possible for both? On Windows Some guys told me that on Windows I can use WinForms, but on Mac I have to use MonoMac, but the transition is difficult to make. I need to do something easily.

Put it in Mono (NOT MonoMac) and it should work on both.

You should be able to recompile and run for both platforms after the port completes.

GTK # may be an option. I do not agree that this is convenient, but it is a matter of taste.

In my humble opinion, you should use different GUI tools for each platform (this is usually a topic of holy wars, but I think if your budget is enough for this, you really should think about it). I can name only a few completely cross-platform applications that we wrote using only one GUI toolkit, which is really completely suitable for all systems.
