I mean since Mono it has completely changed. They are about to release .NET 9 which is the 8th version (there was no v4 to reduce confusion with the legacy .NET Framework) since being cross-platform.

Mono was a third party glorified hack to get C# to work on other OS. .NET has been natively cross platform with an entirely new compiler and framework since mid 2016.

Indeed, this is what I didn't like back then. Java has official support for other OSes, which C# was lacking at the time. Good to hear that things changed now.
