Workload ID maui is not recognized.

Steps to Reproduce

1. Run sudo dotnet workload install maui
2. Enjoy

I do run dotnet on my Linux system, probably there is another way to set up MAUI, rather than using dotnet CLI, but I am not aware of.

Currently, only maui-android (sudo dotnet workload install maui-android) is supported in the Linux system. For details, you can view the document;
By the way, Could you tell us what you want to do on which platform of the Linux system? thanks.

What I am trying to do, is to work with project using Rider on my system. I have Rider, but I am not able to find the MAUI related things in it. The starting point was to install MAUI :D but here I am, with the ticket.

Arch (and all other source-build distributions of the .NET SDK) cannot install the MAUI workloads because those workloads are missing from source-build. This is tracked in dotnet/source-build#3242 currently, and is something that I'm trying to figure out with those partners. In the meantime, if you need MAUI workloads I'd suggest using the dotnet-install scripts to install a 'local install' of the Microsoft SDK and use that.
