I agree. Just FYI, for compatibility reasons, the .NET runtime uses the .dll extension for all libraries, even on Linux. Despite the extension, these files aren’t true Windows DLL files. They might have a stub PE header (not completely sure), but otherwise, they only contain what’s called Intermediate Language code that has to be JIT compiled by the runtime. The principle is similar to .jar files in Java, in case you’re familiar with those. The .NET toolchain has a mode where it bundles all dependencies (.dll files) and your code (more .dll files) together with the runtime for the target platform (for example, Linux) into a redistributable directory. I think that’s what the OP is referring to.
