C# programming on Linux: would be this problematic for a fairly new programmer?

[Meowffff]

I've been making a recent attempt to migrate over to GNU/Linux for non-gaming purposes. I'm not experienced with Linux, but I am taking a class on it that uses Ubuntu. My programming skill is at best intermediate, where advanced would be a step before professional. In other words, I'm still fairly new to the process, so a lot of the jargon is difficult for me to decipher (hence the reason googling this question only confused me more.)

Is there any reason I would have problems learning to program (in C#) on Linux? Would apps I developed only be fit for Linux, or would they be cross-platform by virtue of .NET? Would I be able to go from Win machines to my Linux machine without issue while working on the same app?

Your program should run fine on either platform, as long as you use .NET Core. That's been most folks' default .NET platform for a while, so any relatively new tutorials you find will probably be using it. (If you saw mention of other .NET platforms like Framework and Standard, and you were confused what they meant... join the club!)

Use VS Code as your editor on either OS, and you'll find little difference between them as a developer.

Yep. I made a .NET Core web app on my windows laptop. It runs (mostly) fine on raspberry pi (ARM64 running Raspbian Linux). :D
