    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???)

    Project mention: The MonoGame Foundation launch | /r/monogame | 2023-11-15

  • ArchiSteamFarm

    C# application with primary purpose of farming Steam cards from multiple accounts simultaneously.

    Project mention: Is still safe to use steam idle? | /r/Steam | 2023-12-07

    Why should they? But be sure to use Open Source Projects like https://github.com/JustArchiNET/ArchiSteamFarm or https://github.com/JonasNilson/idle_master_extended so that no funny business happens due to your account due to shady idler programs. Idler programs simply mimic what you're doing and Steam doesn't care about you actually played the game or idled the time since Playtime is IR-reversible and the more you idle, the more you can't refund the game which suits them well.
