The thing I miss the most with C# and dotnet is offline documentation. With Java, I can install the java-17-openjdk-javadoc package and have the full API reference (at /usr/share/javadoc/java/index.html), and download a couple of PDF files to have also the full language and bytecode specification. With Rust, I can install the rust-doc package and have the full API and language reference (at /usr/share/doc/rust/html/index.html). But so far, I haven't found an equivalent for dotnet, unless you're running Visual Studio on Windows. When you want to learn by leisurely browsing the API documentation and language reference, the speed difference is massive: the online documentation takes a bit of time to switch from one page to another, while with offline documentation it's nearly instant.
