Ask HN: Net Success Stories on Linux?
I just recently learned that .Net runs on Linux, but the only information I can find is how to install it. Does anyone have any information (links, github repos) of successful projects running on Linux?
- novantadue 4y ago"dotnet x.dll" is how to run it. Not much to it. I run kestrel webservers on linux.
- supahfly_remix 4y agoThanks! Do you find it useful on Linux? If so, what do you use it for?
- novantadue 4y agoIts way easier to write scripts in dotnet than bash. I'm trying to build a startup with dotnet + kestrel + cassandra on linux.
- supahfly_remix 4y agoWhy would you use it over, say Python, for example? I'm really surprised something from Microsoft works well on Linux. (Not saying they aren't technically capable, just lack motivation to get it work well).
- novantadue 4y agoC# is the easiest language and I already know it. Facebook was written in PHP, not because it was the best choice, but because Mark already knew it. If I was doing ML stuff I think I'd have to learn python. To be honest I wish I was some emacs genius doing everything on linux, but ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

- supahfly_remix 4y agoThat's good info -- thanks!
- T0pH4t 4y agoThe company I work for is a partial .net shop and runs a number of backend services on .Net core with Linux servers. So at the very least its a very real option in the services space. Can't speak to any UI needs.
