Mono appears to be dead. I enjoy making life hard so I dont use windows. I am trying to learn very simple c# but am having trouble gettung visual studio to run anything on linux (debian/mint). It wont even run with dotnet in the terminal either. I dont really like all the features in vs either, i just want simple.
For reference im learning with the yellow book by rob miles. I want to learn the old way, not using a bunch of shiny helping tools (i never feel i really learn with those and it stunts my growth).
VS Code runs flawlessly on Linux, as does
dotnetthe compiler/runtime.C# is a fine language, and you can easily upgrade to F#, if adventurous.
I use nvim with omnisharp-roslyn myself, which doesn’t work as reliably, but I’m used to Vim, so meh.
