Wanted to thank for the post, it finally triggered me to ditch Windows on my laptop. But it seems that Xubuntu would be a better choice for dotnet core development: there is an official 3.0 SDK for Ubuntu while Arch is not officially supported, and no one has built the 3.0 SDK for it yet. I also read some description of the state on Reddit (https://www.reddit.com/r/archlinux/comments/cx64r5/the_state_of_net_core_on_arch/ https://www.reddit.com/r/archlinux/comments/cx64r5/the_state...), and it seems that there are too many hoops to jump on Manjaro.

You know what? Reading your post has now made me want to convert another machine, that I have sitting right here, to use Xubuntu because Ubuntu does seem to have much more official support for things, plus I'd really like to compare it to Manjaro and finally many of our servers are running Ubuntu so it will be nice to get a deeper familiarity with it. I was just this minute looking at .NET Core 3.0 as well because I had such a good experience with 2.2 on a recent job. Your comment actually alerted me to the fact that I can't get it yet :) I was off of .NET for years doing mainly Node.js/Angular/React and I'm kind of excited to be getting back into .NET - I'm so glad my 15 years of .NET experience won't go to waste because ASP.NET has been looking very good in web server benchmarks. Plus, C# and .NET are much nicer to work with than JS/TS and Node IMO. Everything is just cleaner. Anyway - good luck and I hope you have a lot of fun on your Linux desktop adventure. One of my favorite things about the switch over the past year has been the fun of being a sort of hobbyist again, exploring and figuring things out. At this point, I have setup 4 different desktops and I even got advanced touch gestures working on my cheap Acer E5-575g laptop. Can't wait to setup Xubuntu next! So, thanks to you as well!
