dev on .net is something I can understand ... but deploying and running windows servers in prod sounds like a hellish nightmare

The full .NET stack runs on Linux now. It’s even in RHEL’s repos. Heck you can even run MS SQL Server on Linux now if that’s your thing.

It is in Ubuntu and the AUR ( Arch ) as well.

In pragmatic terms, .NET is as native as anything else in Linux at this point.

You can even build it from source: https://github.com/dotnet/dotnet

In fact, the VMR ( linked above ) ONLY works on Linux at the moment with Windows and Mac support planned. So, .NET is Linux-first in some ways.

MAUI is not Linux first of course. The rest of it is becoming more and more Linux and container focussed though it seems.

You can run it all on linux and containers or whatever you want these days.

Where I work, we all use MacBooks and deploy our services on Linux boxes. .NET has been cross-platform for years now.
