C# on Linux is only slightly more annoying than Windows. You have to make some effort to install the SDKs and naturally some of the system APIs behave slightly differently, but overall I have only a very slight preference for windows here.

Mono does still exist, but since like 2015 or so C# has been supported natively on Linux. No one really uses mono anymore AFAIK. Its only purpose is running dotnet framework apps as opposed to dotnet core

what you need to do is install powershell on linux, and set that to be your default shell, then install dotnet

Once complete you will have the best linux environment to develop on :)

Of all the posts I've seen on this website, this one is the worst

Notice their username, someone who just wants to hold the contrarian opinion. Even when they're right, very tiring to deal with

while you are correct I am very contrarian....

I do happen to like both PHP and Powershell (and C#)

I like the syntax, I like the languages.

I find Bash, python, and other "traditional" linux admin tools to be harder to use. Bash especially, I hate dealing with text streams, i would much rather pass objects around

Nah, it's pretty great TBH.

And honestly, if that post IS the worst, this must be your first page on this website.
