And even if you're on Linux, there is a VSCode addon that is equivalent [1]. And even if you can't / don't want to use VSCode or the addon, you can download and run the Functions host yourself via the `func` tool [2]. (The latter is what I do for my own Functions.) One caveat with these options is that the Function won't get a Managed Service Identity since it's running locally, so if you have code that relies on an MSI you'll have to create a Service Principal and make your code support SPs too. Apart from that, the beahvior of the Function running locally or in the cloud should be identical.
