This is wild, apparently this stuff is in the Debian repos now? https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/dotnet/core/install/linux-ubuntu#install-net https://learn.mic

This is wild, apparently this stuff is in the Debian repos now? https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/dotnet/core/install/linux-ubuntu#install-net https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/dotnet/core/install/linux-... So you can just apt install dotnet-sdk-8.0. This must be the most unfriendly Linux install documentation I've ever seen though, it was not easy to find the names of those packages.

  Not Debian, but some Debian-based distros

  It's in a bunch of other distros, though: https://repology.org/project/dotnet/badges https://repology.org/project/dotnet/badges

  Some distributions have it in the standard apt repo, like Ubuntu.

  Huh, why isn't it in? Does it not meet the DFSG?

    dotnet-sdk-8.0 should have the rest of what you need downstream from there. For other libraries and versions, you should be able to use NuGet with your project directly. I've been using the script installer version intended for ci/cd as I actually like that installer more, it's the only one that really supports multiple versions correctly.

What's unfriendly about just clicking through the options? Anytime I want to install .NET, I just go to that exact documentation, click on the distribution I want (usually Ubuntu), and then just click on the version (https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/dotnet/core/install/linux-ubuntu-install?pivots=os-linux-ubuntu-2404&tabs=dotnet8 https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/dotnet/core/install/linux-...). I almost always use Microsoft's feeds though, so as to not rely on the middleman of the Ubuntu package manager feeds.

  Ubuntu is a subpar package maintainer, but in well run distros that middleman who does the packaging makes an effort to ensure you are getting a stable, performant package, and tries to catch eratta or abusive practices that upstream starts pushing (say, Microsoft opening Edge when you run wget or curl in the terminal, rather than calling the real wget or curl).
