After the release of dotnet core I stopped using Windows for dotnet XD
I've gone all Linux since what was holding me back was the dotnet framework.
I like its performance, good enough for my needs. Though on their github if you check their issues its not yet mature enough for large scale services. Though version 3 seems promissing -
Agred20176yIt's really good as long as you don't need WPF. Net Core 3 offers comability but if you use any of external libraries for visual effects they may be incompatible.
But it's great. Especially using Rider. -
@Agred WPF support is windows only or they changed that? I recall reading that it's a windows only feature, hope I'm wrong tho
-
Agred20176y@gitpush It's available, more or less, in early access NET Core 3. Tbh, I haven't tried it out yet since my only WPF app used incompatible dependencies, but there are even tutorials on how to port an app to Linux.
-
@Agred But doesn't WPF require DirectX which prevented them from porting it in the first place?
I don't want to install preview release, don't really want to mess up my environment with multiple versions. -
Agred20176y@gitpush I may be completely wrong and I don't want to lie to you. I'll try to build something very basic and will update you in several minutes.
-
@Agred Sorry I bothered you with this, but from their github: https://github.com/dotnet/wpf/...
I think the ones we see online are 3rd party port of wpf -
Agred20176y@gitpush It may be. I wanted to build anything quickly to check it out, but I'm afraid it's gonna take a while... My net is kind dead.
-
@FrodoSwaggins I'm curios about downsides of .net.
I'm more into mobile development, and used .net only for my own projects not in a position to list downside of it. And for sure not comparing to C/C++ there is no need to even think who might be the winner here. -
@Agred I know the feeling, have the same speed at night, during the day it goes up to 210KB/s lol

h4xx3r16756yAvalonia for cross platform desktop apps and net core for cross platform web services\apps. Plus visual studio code.
Can't complain with C# on Linux 😏 -
@FrodoSwaggins You reminded me, "I also think c# has way too many features that are only in there because it was a cool trick to be able to do and was some compiler engineers pet project" is the only reason why I am a bit disappointed, true saves time writing but limits the way we think.

athlon172096yI remember few years ago setting up Unity on Linux with vscode Intellisense was a bitch.
Nowadays? Holy crap, seems like it's easier and quicker on Linux than Windows. Things have changed. -
Agred20176y@gitpush Okay, so I checked and yes - I was entirely wrong. You can't build WPF/WinForm apps on Linux.
I think I got confused because Rider gave me an option to create Desktop Application on Linux even though I can't build them. Sorry!
