I know people get fed up of C#/.NET because it feels so separated from what's going on in the rest of the development world and because the (relative) lack of open source community makes it seem quite dull. But it's a great language and a decent framework and with Microsoft open-sourcing so much of it a few weeks ago it could be on the verge of becoming more exciting.

If I were you I'd consider trying to get involved (or at least following developments) in the official .NET on Linux projects. That way you don't have to learn a new language but you can move away from Windows and Visual Studio. And try to get some practice deploying Linux .NET applications in Docker - I'd guess that experience will be in high demand in the near future.
