Howdy,

Does a windows forms application targeting .net core run on a Linux or Mac platform?

Windows Forms apps generally run only on the Windows platform (hence the name 😉).

That's said, Windows Forms .NET Framework app can be run under Mono WinForms on Linux and MacOS. I've heard reports Windows Forms .NET apps can run under WineHQ as well.
Please note: 1) YMMV, and 2) we don't provide support for these scenarios.

If no, is there any alternative?

You have a plenty of options to chose from: .NET MAUI, Blazor, etc.
