Mono appears to be dead. I enjoy making life hard so I dont use windows. I am trying to learn very simple c# but am having trouble gettung visual studio to run anything on linux (debian/mint). It wont even run with dotnet in the terminal either. I dont really like all the features in vs either, i just want simple.

For reference im learning with the yellow book by rob miles. I want to learn the old way, not using a bunch of shiny helping tools (i never feel i really learn with those and it stunts my growth).

Jetbrains Rider free for personal use. You must use .net (core) on Linux, it works like a charm. Visual studio code is fine too but you need tons of plugins to have an IDE experience in .Net. You might have a problem with your .net installation id you can’t compile a simple program. How did you install .net? From microsoft’s ppa?

Only like 3 plugins are necessary on VSCode for C#/.NET. I use it every day at work. I use just as many plugins, if not more when I write JS/TS.

I’ve heard Rider is a good experience but I’ve never tried it.

What I really want is better support for the language in Neovim plugins….

For what it's worth, Rider has an excellent vim emulator plugin.

Yes, from the ms walk through which was actually decently written. I just think vs is too confusing for me right now, I only want to learn simple code first before building a project

You don’t need to use vscode, any text editor is fine. Try to follow the getting started tutorial on microsoft’s website to see if your dotnet configuration is correctly installed. https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/dotnet/core/get-started
