Technically Windows licences, too, but maybe they migrated to Linux with their switch to .NET (Core).

Indeed, afaik they have been migrating long time ago

2018:

but on the other hand their tech stack site says: C# + ASP.NET MVC

instead of ASP.NET Core, but I don't think it is proof of anything.

They are definitely using ASP.NET Core, most likely version 3.1 LTS.

EF Core (like ASP.NET Core) ran on .NET Framework until version 2.1. Everything after that requires .NET (Core).

Updated my comment for clarity - yes, SQL Server and Windows for their .NET app. Maybe they've moved to Linux if they have finished their migration to .NET Core, but even if they did, it's a fairly recent thing.

As far as I know they have been using .NET Core (or just EF Core? would be weird to go EF Core + .NET Framework, I guess?) on prod in 2018:

So maybe they used some things on Linux and some things on Windows - those that couldnt be ported to .NET Core back in the days

They're using .NET Core, and I think even .NET 5 in the meantime though I couldn't find a clear confirmation for that. But they're still on Windows, looking at Linux and containers for potentially in the future.
