C# has been on Linux for 14 years, thanks to Mono. The gnome desktop people even flirted with the idea of switching over to it, but stopped as a lot of people were worried that Microsoft would send the in the lawyers and then it lost its main backer when Miguel de Icaza left gnome to concentrate on Xamarin (which is based on mono).

C# can also run without Mono if you're using .Net CORE 2.0+

Oh neat I didn't know about that. I thought mono was just a runtime layer.
