That's really not the case with C# or Go. C# has first class Linux support nowadays (minus GUI support) and using Go on windows is quite easy (I daily drive go on windows at work).

With Maui, you can now have first class Linux gui support, same with Blazor. You can also even do some of the more cutting edge stuff on linux like compiling straight to ASM.

  Are you sure Maui provides native Linux GUI support? (Not through a WebView)

  .NET MAUI doesn't have first class Linux GUI support. Unless you count Android as Linux. [1] There were some unofficial efforts for Linux GUI support for MAUI's predecessor (Xamarin Forms), but never first party support.

  MAUI is not working on Linux, still Microsoft market it as "cross-platform" which is super misleading at best (and pure lie at worst).

    Wow, you're right. I stand corrected. I've been leveraging it for Windows and Macos, and incorrectly assumed it would work on Linux as well. And when I did target linux it was using the Blazor(Webview stuff). Thanks for the correction, such a weird decision for Microsoft to market it as cross platform so heavily and omit Linux. I would definitely put it on Lie tier. Even more strange since some other features have first class linux support like compiling to native code, but others like Blazor apparently omit only linux.

  No Maui doesn't support Linux desktop and Microsoft engineers have specifically acknowledged this and so far there are no plan to support Linux desktop. https://github.com/dotnet/maui/discussions/339 https://github.com/dotnet/maui/discussions/339

Not having GUI support is definitly not first class. Secondly many libraries are missing as a large portion of the ecosystem is still focused on Windows, and VSCode is a tiny portion of Visual Studio features. One needs to buy a Java based IDE (Rider) for good support doing C# development on Linux.
