The following worked:

(Inspiration was taken from here: https://bugzilla.xamarin.com/show_bug.cgi?id=40997)

1) sudo apt-get install wmctrl

2) In your code:

Form form = new MainWindow();
form.FormBorderStyle = FormBorderStyle.None;
form.WindowState = FormWindowState.Maximized;

form.Load += (s, e) => {
    Process process = new Process {
        StartInfo = new ProcessStartInfo {
            FileName = "wmctrl",
            Arguments = $"-r :ACTIVE: -b add,fullscreen",
            CreateNoWindow = true
        }
    };
    process.Start();
    process.WaitForExit();
};

Application.Run(form);
