What's the twist? There must be some reason.

What’s the twist? There must be some reason.

.NET runs natively on Linux since quite some time. Honestly, I don't get what Mono is even good for these days. Maybe reverse engineering old .NET versions.

.NET runs natively on Linux

Only .NET Core sadly

When I moved my personal laptop to Linux I needed WINE to run some source-available .NET apps that were written targeting the Windows-only .NET Framework

All the new stuff is now on .NET Core/5.0 and up at least.

Hasn't been called ".NET Core" since 3.1

Although it's essentially the subsequent version of core, .NET 5 is the successor to both .NET Core 3.1 and .NET Framework 4.

Since then, it's just been called .NET 5/6/7/8/...
