So how would I use this on Linux? I'm seeing different versions of VS to download from the official website. Only VS Code is available on Linux?! Does/will that

  I don't think you can right now. It's likely to be a community effort once the SDK will be open sourced. Then you'd have to use MonoDevelop (Xamarin Studio OSS, basically).

  Visual Studio proper is still a Windows only product. Microsoft's aim here is to make Windows and Visual Studio the only solution you'll ever need to develop for every platform under the sun, be it iOS, Mac OS, Android, Linux, Windows, or web. Visual Studio Code is a very lightweight semi-open source IDE for writing code, and not much else.

    In what way is it semi-open source? The code is on GitHub under MIT: https://github.com/Microsoft/vscode https://github.com/Microsoft/vscode.

      I think the "semi" was for "IDE", to compare it to Visual Studio.

  I think you can still download xamarin studio.

    Xamarin Studio doesn't run on Linux.

      Monodevelop, which is Xamarin Studio without skin works like a charm on my GeckoLinux box and Linux Mint before that.

        But Xamarin's tools do not run on Monodevelop.
