Still a lot of Windows baggage with C#. It's changing, but I think most c# devs are still learning fundamental unix and docker stuff. So you'll get an overhead with C# too, just not in technical performance.

Source? As a .NET developer I can tell you that there are plenty of us with Linux/Docker experience. There is zero Windows baggage with C# in .NET (Core). Your information is out of date.

What projects? None of those are forced on you or have any references to them built into .NET Core. I've been building .NET apps since 1.0 reached beta (in 2001?) I can count on one hand how many times in total that I've worked with those systems. This argument is a hell of a reach.

If you don't want to use .NET, you obviously don't have to.

I work for a C# shop. However maybe the signal is ex-Microsoft rather than C# itself, when I think about it more. We have lots of ex-MSFT.

Switched from a career of a windows/.net/c# to a max/ruby/js shop. Docker skills transferred. Had to learn Unix commands but it didn’t feel much different from cmd/powershell
