Linux

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

So I've done a bunch of application development in windows in C# and Java, and while Java stuff is pretty similar in Linux with Swing I'm not as confident in C# there (not too familiar with Mono), but I also want to diversify a bit too. Any recommendations?

JetBrains Rider is probably the best C# IDE for Linux, and MS ported .NET server stuff a while ago.

I’m not sure about C# GUI toolkits on Linux. WPF isn’t there, and I’m not sure how mature Maui is on Linux.

Maui has zero Linux support. I don't believe there are any plans for it, either.

However, Avalonia is fully supported, and is almost a drop in replacement for WPF.

Yeah outside of Java I'm wondering if I might have to start learning some OpenGL/Vulkan stuff for graphics.
