    That’s a very old way of thinking of things. C# has been cross platform for a long time.

    Almost everything ever written in C# uses Windows-specific APIs

    Not really. Most C# apps use .NET (since the framework and standard library is quite feature-rich) rather than direct Win32 calls, and .NET is cross-platform. A lot of web services are written in C# and deployed to Linux servers.

    basically no one installs the C# runtime on Linux anymore

    You can compile a C# app to a single executable that doesn’t require the framework to be installed.

    Are you running Jellyfin, the *arr suite, slskd, or Technitium DNS? They’re all written in C#.

      You’ve obviously never tried to get any given .NET project working in Linux. There’s .NET and then there’s .NET Core which is a mere subset of .NET.

      Only .NET Core runs on Linux and nobody uses it. The list of .NET stuff that will actually run on .NET Core (alone) is a barren wasteland.

        I’m a C# developer and run .NET apps on Linux all the time. I usually work on CLI and server apps, but recently released my first Linux desktop app written in C#: https://flathub.org/apps/com.daniel15.wcc

        Even before .NET Core, I was using Mono to run C# apps on Linux. There used to be quite a few GNOME apps written in C#.

        There’s .NET and then there’s .NET Core which is a mere subset of .NET.

        Nope. The old .NET Framework has been deprecated for a long time. The latest version, 4.8.1, is not very different to 4.6 which was released 10 years ago.

        The modern versions are just called .NET, which is what .NET Core used to be, but with much more of the framework implemented in a cross-platform way. Something like 95% of the Windows-only .NET Framework has been reimplemented in a cross-platform way.

        The list of .NET stuff that will actually run on .NET Core (alone) is a barren wasteland.

        All modern .NET code is built on the cross-platform framework. Only legacy apps used the old Windows-only .NET Framework.

        If you get the free community version of Visual Studio and create a new C# project, it’ll be using the latest cross-platform framework. You can even cross-compile for Linux on a Windows system.
