Me, well not really linux but his cousin from the Unix side, macOS. I have to admit, I was really doubtful about starting this project, I didn't want to lose time with obscure errors instead of working on the solution I wanted to implement. I'm a .NET developer, I use Windows at work and macOS at home. I wanted to start a side project, just for fun, I wanted to develop fast, since I don't have too much time in the afternoon to work on this side project, so I didn't want to lose too much time learning a totally new framework or language. Even though I was afraid I could found too much trouble in my learning process, I gave a try to ASP.NET Core in my mac, and I don't regret it, it has been awesome, I haven't found big issues preventing me to progress in my project. Working with VS Code has been really nice too, it's refreshing and clean, I almost haven't missed Visual Studio, actually I think I like it better (it feels kind of like a love affair). I'm still in the developing phase so I can't give you an opinion on deployment and testing my project in production, but now I'm confident that won't be a big issue.

TL;DR Yes I recommend it, lately Microsoft has been developing really cool stuff, and I doubt they will disappoint us, at least in the short to medium term.
