Will you publicly apologize when I show you some of my certifications? I'm a senior SW developer C/C++ (even certified), as well a systems and network administrator (even certified)! What's the package name? Is this open-source? Or is it closed-source, ie. just the binary? Does one need to run it inside an emulator in Linux, ie. under the WINE subsystem? Or is it a native Linux application? Is it a console-only version, or does it have also a GUI? I mean the developer environment.
Right. So you write a long message instead of doing a simple search. Something tells me you're an unemployed dev.
I'm currently self-employed working for myself only. Is that a problem for you? Why are you so much interested in my private life? Are you maybe a spy idiot? Stop that! Respect the privacy of others! Is there any contribution by you that is educational and worth to read? I think you are just spying out the people here.
You have no clue of what you are talking about. I run .net core on Linux on a daily basis. C# is just a language, you can run it on any OS as soon as you have a runtime that understands it. Calling yourself a senior developer doesn't make you one.
I have nothing against any language. My rant was against the MS products as coded by MS itself. Since it's not open-source, nobody knows what the code does. And there are many examples of it having backdoors for spying. Later when the backdoor gets detected (very hard to analyze due to the use of strong encryption) they simply say it was a bug, and replace it with another backdoor.... These backdoors are interfaces ("vendor" APIs ) for remote access (ie. via network etc.) for their paying client companies, esp. the spying agencies like NSA, CIA, MOSSAD etc. ADBE (Acrobat PDF reader) is a similar shaetty company to avoid. If there is an open-source alternative of the program (or in this case the language) then it's no problem, b/c the source code of the program can freely be inspected by thousands of professionals around the World.
c# is open source. You can see the language implementation on GitHub, there are many collaborators around the world developing it. It is not own by Microsoft. Microsoft chose that language for their products as part of the .net platform and they actively develop and promote it.
Backdoors, spies? The c# code is on GitHub, you are full of shit. https://github.com/dotnet/csharplang
You should learn to read, I mean binary-only programs, ie. closed-source programs. The above one on GitHub is of course source code, so it's open-source. If you can't distinguish even that simple fact, then it tells much about you, POS! You blindies don't grasp the real danger: the language might be open-source, but if the platform on which it runs is binary w/o being open-source as well, ie. the underlying .net-shit, you still have the problem of backdoors....
