We're probably not the only ones running outdated software (feddit.org)

Fun fact: The outdated software runs on outdated hardware, too.

I'm sure it's not that simple but .Net is and has been on Linux https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/dotnet/core/install/linux

Docker images I have run dotnet in a container but the docker server host is Ubuntu. Though I really should flatten it and run it on proxmox.

However, it's not like that would save real dollars on licensing we have Windows servers still for AD et. al. and therefore have to license all CPU cores in a hypervisor cluster so having fewer windows servers is irrelevant in our environment with regards to license costs.

Oh yeah, all my code is dotnet core running on Ubuntu servers in docker.

Just all this legacy code is written in dotnet framework which doesn't run on Linux, and requires some moderate effort to switch (relies on libraries that are framework, and those also rely on framework libraries, etc)

It's completely possible, but for now, I've got these 2022 servers running "good enough" to go to production, and I'll convert them as soon as the first issue arises.
