r45h1d127y@HelloUglyWorld alright. And i have no idea about linux commands. So, what distro is best for a beginner like me?
-
endor56687y@r45h1d sidenote: Visual Studio Code != Visual Studio. They are two different programs: one is a lightweight editor (think Sublime or Atom), the other is a fully fledged IDE
-
endor56687y@r45h1d unfortunately not, Visual Studio does not run on any linux platform. Wine support seems pretty terrible too, so our only option would be running a windows VM inside linux just for Visual Studio.
VSCode, on the other hand, is available -
iran3977yIf you start with Ubuntu, You will be pretty ass fucked much more than before. Use Debian or Arch.

I simply don't get it.
You have a fully functional system, all C# libraries are compatible with it - but then you are like "Oh, I'm in mood for a little bit of GETTING SHOT IN THE KNEECAPS" and you decide to install something that will require more work and probably won't function as well? -
Also, depending on what you are developing, loosing WPF is pretty much one of the worst options.

codumke1987yI would prefer win10 to, because there are programming differences between 8.1 and 10. I once get fucked, because I can't run my Code on the way like every other Plattform, I had to develop extra for 8.1.

In general, a lot of C# development is quite possible on Linux. For example everything .net core as well as xamarin.
However, whenever I tried, desktop applications felt really awkward since the ui just isn't geared towards Linux-like appearance and you're loosing the most powerful desktop ui framework since wpf is not supported.
One more thing to consider is the ide. Yes, you can use whatever editor you like and can compile using dotnet and Mono. But I have yet to see an ide/debugger that is remotely as powerful and comfortable as visual studio with ReSharper.
