Yes, from the ms walk through which was actually decently written. I just think vs is too confusing for me right now, I only want to learn simple code first before building a project
To clarify things. Visual Studio and Visual Studio Code are two different things. Visual Studio is a full blown IDE intended to be run on Windows. Visual Studio Code is a glorified text editor out of the box that has plugins that help with coding in other languages like C#. On Linux you will want VS Code.
You don’t need to use vscode, any text editor is fine. Try to follow the getting started tutorial on microsoft’s website to see if your dotnet configuration is correctly installed. https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/dotnet/core/get-started
