Dotnet

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. ...

If you are a C# developer like me and you also use or would like to use Linux as your OS, this guide is for you. Today we will be walking through setting up dotnet in Linux and VSCode. I am using Manjaro Linux as my distribution, you may be able to take away information from this post and apply it to other distributions as well. If you haven’t installed VSCode on Manjaro yet, check out our guide for that as well. We also just added a guide on installing JetBrains Rider for Linux as well, if you prefer a fully featured .NET IDE. ...
