If you are a .NET developer and coming to Linux, you have a few different options for a development IDE. You may choose any standard text editor if that’s your thing, or you may like Vim or VS Code. If you are looking for a Linux alternative that is close to Visual Studio, like you have on Windows, JetBrains Rider is an excellent choice. Rider is a fully featured .NET IDE for Linux that also supports the cross-platform GUI framework Avalonia UI. This means that you can develop GUI applications that run natively on many different operating systems such as Linux, Windows, MacOS, iOS, etc. by using the Avalonia UI framework. Coupled with JetBrains Rider, your .NET C# development becomes much smoother. While Rider is not a free product, you do get a free 30-day trial to try it out. ...

I said in a recent article that Avalonia UI is a great framework for creating Linux GUI applications using C# and .NET. I also said that it paired well with the JetBrains Rider IDE. So today, we are going to build the basic Linux GUI app using Avalonia UI and Rider. The GUI applications built using this framework will be cross-platform. They will run on Linux, Windows, and MacOS which greatly speeds up development. Also, if you are already familiar with WPF apps in Visual Studio on Windows, Avalonia UI borrows a lot from WPF so you will feel right at home. ...

We will first cover a basic menu that is really simple to set up and use but also flexible and works for most cases. We will also go over a more advanced menu that offers a very different user experience which is more like a GUI, just in the terminal instead. ...

GCC which stands for GNU Compiler Collection, is a collection of compilers for many different languages on Linux. For example, GCC can compile source code from C, C++, Fortran, Go, Objective C, and more. GCC is compatible with a long list of architectures, such as i386, ia64, ARM, and more. Is GCC Just for Linux? No, GCC is not limited to Linux. GCC stands for GNU Compiler Collection and is developed by the Free Software Foundation as part of the GNU project. GCC supports many different operating systems including Linux but also supports other platforms such as Solaris, Microsoft Windows, macOS, and many others. So, GCC is not just for Linux, but it is also available for a wide range of other operating systems. ...
