Microsoft's .NET runtime and C# compiler have been open source and cross platform for a long time now. Even before then, MS published ECMA standards for .NET and C# since the beginning, and the Mono runtime and compiler for C# have been open source and cross platform since the early 2000s:

Yes, of course this is true but the tooling ecosystem still hasn't made great strides over to Linux. Rider does exist but is not open source. As far as I know the debugger is not open source as well.

you can do a lot of it with vscode and the CLI. Lots of the other tools probably won't be taken to linux, but mostly you don't really need them, all the non windows specific stuff is pretty well supported across platforms
