Your arguments are all over the place. The Mono project is practically dead. Official .NET runs on Linux without issues. It uses the modern CoreCLR runtime on Linux. Some other targets, like WASM, still use a runtime based on Mono, but CoreCLR has been used on Linux for nearly a decade. Best IDE for it is JetBrains Rider (by far) which runs on Linux. It uses JIT compiler, not interpreter. For CLI tools, AOT compilation is also supported, which compiles to machine code like Go/C++/Rust do. Also, .NET is open. The only issue is that primary development is done by a single corporation.
