Hardest part of introducing people to the franchise is not showing them this until it naturally comes up in season three!

It sucks that you had such a rough translation. I never felt hoodwinked, because it was always clear to me that any parts of .net that were for winforms or WPF would never fully supported off windows. And that certainly makes it hard to transition projects that started on the legacy framework before core.

With that expectation on my mind, I haven’t had these experience, most things I’ve wanted to do just work on Linux, CLI and web hosting. For GUI I’ve used Avalonia which has been great, but it’s definitely not a thing you just port to. Its viable for greenfield.

What do you mean not Linux friendly? Some of the legacy windows components of .net are not being supported, but that’s because there are alternatives that are better. ImageSharp is a huge improvement over system.drawing.
