For Windows, .Net Core 3 lets you create Windows GUI apps using the standard Windows frameworks (UWP/WPF/WinForms)

For cross platform there isn't an official solution, the closest would be deploying as an Electron app.

The official cross platform solution for GUI apps is Xamarin / Xamarin.Forms, though they are mostly focused on mobile. There are desktop renderers for those, but they are currently in some weird Schrodinger's Cat state between "officially supported" and "community supported".

There are other entirely community-supported/third-party efforts like Avalonia and Uno around as well.
