It works on Linux. But you'll notice every now and then how it just doesn't quite want to fit in, especially the developer tooling around it. It's not that it doesn't work, you just stumble over minor annoyances that don't happen on Windows and VSCode (with the proprietary plugin). Quite a contrast to developing in Rust on Linux, for example.

No, developing C# on Linux has been exactly the same as on windows for a very long time. Not since Framework and Core were separate things.

The modern C# Linux experience is indistinguishable from Windows.

When I'm in the office, I use Windows, when I work from home it's on Linux. Same projects, no problems.

Try to do GUI stuff, or debugging parallel code in VSCode on Linux.

Rider works fine for me.

After paying for it.

Meanwhile other FOSS ecosystems, get everything as free beer, including InteliJ stuff.

[calamari4065]

That's really not relevant.

Your problem is that VSCode is broken, not C#.

IntelliJ Idea for Java is not exactly free either. How would you go about debugging parallel code in Go, Rust or C++ there?

[pjmlp]

It certainly is, Community edition, available in macOS, Linux and Windows, contrary to VS Community that is Windows only.

What the hell has Go, Rust or C++ to do with C# and .NET code?
