Reading this thread is the first I'm learning of this. Even with the enthusiasm expressed here, I'm still suspicious that there will be incompatibilities. Microsoft has a history of doing things a certain way.


We use .NET for pretty much everything that doesn't run in a browser, our apps run in Linux containers and devs use windows/Linux/Mac with no issues.

GUI libraries might have some potential for improvement but I would reach for C# for any task that didnt strictly require a different language.


That's your bias and not the language fault, everything works pretty much the same across every OS, I haven't developed non-UI C# apps on Windows since 2018 (because of course you need Windows to build WinUI and WPF apps, but you have options on macOS and Linux too)
