As SRE who deals with a ton of .Net, many companies are moving to .Net Core on Linux. It's slow process but it's getting there.

  > many companies are moving to .Net Core on Linux Why? Is it to port windows software to Linux? Is anybody starting software on Linux using .Net?

    As an indication. Azure have more Linux machines running .NET than Windows machines.

    Because .NET is just a superior platform especially for back-ends. It has been open-source and platform-agnostic for 8 years already.

    >Why? Is it to port windows software to Linux? Most of software was web-based software but ran on Windows Server because it was only platform to support .Net Framework. Once we migrated to .Net Core and could run it on Linux, we did so because .Net on Linux is faster and free. >Is anybody starting software on Linux using .Net? I mean, all greenfield for day job stuff is done now in Linux. We have several ASP.Net Services that hosted 100% on Kubernetes. I also helped out with friend startup which is using React + .Net REST API backend, runs using Docker Compose on Ubuntu 22.04 LTS.
