I've left the Microsoft world. That said the dotnet environment is pretty frickin' cool. Not least of all for the mostly excellent documentation across a lot of libraries. And MS keeps throwing money at development. It's just not better enough to attract Linux devs brought up entirely in the Linux world. And I suspect most dotnet devs who jump entirely into Linux abandon dotnet because their new shop doesn't use it.
- plusmax1 3y agoWe develop and deploy dotnet on Linux at my shop, it works great. I can recommend it to everyone, the dev experience is wonderful. With Rider as a development environment my team couldn't be happier really. I did a lot of development in C, java and python, but C# feels a lot more solid and developing with it truly is a joy.
- minimeme 3y agoCan confirm, dotnet works great on Linux. We have a lot of dotnet production systems running on Linux and Docker for many years now with zero issues. Also recommend Rider in Linux for development, even our Windows folks prefer it over VS nowadays.
- foverzar 3y agoNo issues with libraries that require old Windows ASP.NET? This was a frequent issue each time I tried using something from .NET ecosystem on Linux.
- kikimora 3y agoNever encountered this in the last 5 years working on .NET + Linux system.
- minimeme 3y agoThis was maybe a problem on the early days of .NET Core, but from .NET 6 or so they have reimplemented (almost) all the stuff from the old .NET Framework and that in turn enabled relatively easy porting of third party libraries, so most of them are ported as of today (atleast more or less maintained ones).
- SeanKilleen 3y agoWe're developing in .NET and publishing Linux containers deployed to Kubernetes. It's been an absolute joy!
