We develop and deploy dotnet on Linux at my shop, it works great. I can recommend it to everyone, the dev experience is wonderful. With Rider as a development environment my team couldn't be happier really. I did a lot of development in C, java and python, but C# feels a lot more solid and developing with it truly is a joy.

Can confirm, dotnet works great on Linux. We have a lot of dotnet production systems running on Linux and Docker for many years now with zero issues. Also recommend Rider in Linux for development, even our Windows folks prefer it over VS nowadays.
No issues with libraries that require old Windows ASP.NET?

This was a frequent issue each time I tried using something from .NET ecosystem on Linux.

This was maybe a problem on the early days of .NET Core, but from .NET 6 or so they have reimplemented (almost) all the stuff from the old .NET Framework and that in turn enabled relatively easy porting of third party libraries, so most of them are ported as of today (atleast more or less maintained ones).
Never encountered this in the last 5 years working on .NET + Linux system.
