I primarily use F# on linux and the experience is very smooth.

editor: VSCode + ionide extension

stdlib: F# has its own stdlib but it can also access all of dotnet's stdlib seemlessly.

libs: Many of the 3rd party libs are written in C# in an OOP style but you can still use them. Most of the popluar ones have functional F# wrappers if you don't like OOP.

build: the dotnet cli is very advanced and not too hard to grok.

pkg: You can use nuget but most F# devs use paket
