Mono VS CoreFX

In the video you basically install .NET 7.0 SDK with the deb packages from Microsoft repos AND mono deb packages from repos laid out in https://www.mono-project.com/ apart from Unity and VS Code. And then you configure VS Code so that it always uses Mono installed in the system (not Unity Editor's own instance???)

4- Any user-side telemetry would be in the MS .Net framework, which is not used when you selfhost as .net based stuff like Jellyfin use Mono, which is fully open-source and independent (https://www.mono-project.com/)

Did they intentionally name it after a widely used, well known programming framework[1], or did they want to guarantee, I dunno, that they will fly way, way under the radar? I thought it was bad form to name a new programming language 'Cedar', but at least the other Cedar isn't actively developed, unlike the other Mono.

.NET 4.8.1 and earlier do not install on Linux. Unless you want to play around with Mono (your mileage may vary): https://www.mono-project.com/

They have deceived you. https://www.mono-project.com/ I seriously don't know how well wine can deal with newer .NET winforms

It also gained a lot of more popularity and success after the release of the open source implementation of it called Mono.

Hey, I'm working on a C++ game engine in VS Code and wanted to add C# scripting, so I'm trying to install Mono. I already got SDL2 working with CMake, but I'm having trouble setting up Mono because it doesn't seem to have any out of the box CMake support.

Microsoft already has universal cross flatform low level spyware as C# and .NET (which is used by tons of even native linux games, especially made with Unity), mono is sponsored by Microsoft and has telemetry. Wine also uses mono.

And then installs proprietary steam, spotify, vscode and develops on C# for linux with telemetry even in mono runtime...

System.Buffers v4.0.3.0 / v4.6.28619.01 @BuiltBy: dlab14-DDVSOWINAGE069 @Branch: release/2.1 @SrcCode: https://github.com/dotnet/corefx/tree/7601f4f6225089ffb291dc7d58293c7bbf5c5d4f / v4.6.28619.01

You’re right. Thanks for correcting me. The logic of applying the predicate for the two are inversions of each other, and they are even implemented in the same file: AnyAll.cs.

- EF Core is not MSSQL first. EF Core is an abstraction layer and is in no way tied to Sql Server. In fact, Microsoft's own getting started tutorial uses Sqlite (1). I've personally used the Postgres drivers in production and they are as good/production-ready as Microsoft's SQL library for EF Core.

- "Many libraries ship with two implementations..." I've yet to come across these "many" libraries in the 5 years since I've been building services with .NET Core.

"The community is really culty" - I'm not sure where this is coming from. It's hard to refute such vague criticisms.

- "It's practically open source in name only" - Here is the base class library source: https://github.com/dotnet/corefx/releases

Dotnet foundation publishes their C# coding style along with an editorconfig and some tooling to support it.

I created the bug report on GitHub. After that, the .NET development team fixed some code fragments described in the article. Among them - the errors with interpolated strings. The corresponding pull request.
