the emphasis is on "deeply".

I think .NET can be quite an advantage, as stated also in the article.

but if I want to, say, set up a dev environment on linux, it comes with a set of quite different dependencies than what other languages use.

I'm using F# and .NET Core on Linux and I actually really like it. I can use my Linux distribution package manager to install different SDK versions side by side (at the moment, 2.1, 2.2, 3.0, 3.1) and the CLI tools automatically picks up the correct version for each solution. I find it superior to other languages like Rust/Erlang/Python where you need to use a tool that manages the SDKs outside of the distro package manager.

What do you mean? There are .debs and .rpms to install .NET Core on Linux just like any other language

Yeah... I thought it's quite simple also. Rider also works on Linux. It's been a great experience for me.
