Yes, though being an enterprise friendly language there's a bit of a lead time in most of the places using it, but NET core on Linux is increasing adoption.
Just this week I built and deployed a new C#. NET core API running on a Microsoft provided Ubuntu docker image and it's now ticking along nicely in production.
I still develop on Windows because Visual Studio is for my money the best development environment available but I almost never write new code to run on Windows, with core at publish time its as simple as a command line flag to target Linux. If you don't want to use Windows for development then other OSes are just as viable for developing on, I developed my personal blog on Linux.
It's a shame that people (perhaps understandably) have this image of C# as a legacy environment when it's a language and environment that is constantly innovating and has been sitting around the top of some server benchmarks for quite a while.
