As far as I know the .net debugger infrastructure is not open source, so unless you are happy to stay within the confines of VSCode, I think that your options are pretty limited for stepping through your code.

Running .net code on Linux is fine, though.

This is vsdbg (which comes with Visual Studio 2022 and the Microsoft-provided binary of VS Code).

There are alternatives like OmniSharp[1], the debugger shipped with JetBrains Rider, and Samsung's netcoredbg[2].

Good to know!

I've been using Omnisharp for ages, but I could never get netcoredbg working.

Last time I tried te integration with emacs-dap it kept segfaulting for no obvious reason.

But I may give it another try now!

i'm currently developing .net apps in neovim with full LSP support, it's lovely. There are definitely alternative debuggers, such as netcoredbg from Samsung
