Mono VS designs

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.

[1] https://www.mono-project.com/ for the few of you who didn't know.

.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...

They do! See https://github.com/apple/swift/blob/main/docs/LibraryEvoluti...

You can also see an example of what a different high level language integration with Swift ABI looks like here: https://github.com/dotnet/designs/blob/main/proposed/swift-i...

Design Proposal

Ah, TIL. Haven't written C# since 2016.

On macOS with ARM chips W^X is mandatory also for JIT: https://github.com/dotnet/designs/blob/main/accepted/2021/ru...

Minor nitpick, while the V8 JIT doesn't support those mitigations in its current state, it can. Some of the work allowing RyuJIT (.NET's JIT) to use them might interest you: https://github.com/dotnet/designs/blob/main/accepted/2021/runtime-security-mitigations.md

I don't think it's actually a problem most of the time, but they're working on fixing it anyway.

Which kind of AOT flavour?

NGEN, .NET Native, the pseudo extract zip, the pseudo extract zip with mmap execution,.....

Even in .NET 6 it is going to be "almost there wait for .NET 7 for all use cases".
