From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

.NET is now fully cross platform. you can absolutely run and debug applications on linux as you would in windows.
However Visual Studio IDE is windows only (theres a mac version but isn’t the same).
You can use vscode + .net development pack.
Personally I use Jetbrains rider (for home and work)
SQL Server has a linux version I believe, but its been years since Ive done an install (for development I run sql server in a container)
Correct me if I'm wrong, but isn't this limited to just console apps - as in you can't yet run GUI apps, unless you're using a cross-platform toolkit like Avalonia, or it's a WinForms app running under Mono?
To be more specific, yeah I think you are correct. The core of .net (hence the old name net core) is cross platform. Theres a lot of other stuff that isn’t (ie WPF won’t work on linux)
~There are alternatives, such as MAUI~

Note that MAUI doesn't officially support Linux.
But there are third party alternatives like Uno Platform or Avalonia UI that do.
woops! good point thanks!
There was a mac version. But it is hitting EOL in August
