From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

Any C# devs want to share their setup? (infosec.pub)

As the title says, you probably guessed it already. For work I mainly develop on the .NET platform using a Windows device, but at home I enjoy all the benefits of a good OS.

Now I kinda want to get my C# skills "sharper" and have some projects in mind utilising it, but I'm a bit miffed about the development tools and possibilities of deployment available for me on Linux.

Also I may want to coerce my boss to let me work on a device with my OS of choice.

Any advice from devs that are in a similar spot? What do you use for .NET development on Linux? And are there any cool multiplatform deployment possibilities (next to Xamarin/Maui) that actually let me build natively on Linux?

I'm a professional and hobbyist C# .NET dev and I recently made the switch to a full Linux environment at home. I've gotten a great workflow setup with just VSCode and some extensions. I've actually found some ways to improve my workflow with VSCode vs Visual Studio and I'm glad I made the switch. The only thing I really miss is the phenomenal diagnostics and profiling I would get with a full Visual Studio install, but I'm getting used to using cli dotnet tools to replace that as well.

If you're going the VSCode route, feel free to ask me more questions on useful extensions or workflow tweaks!

What process do you use to sign your binaries?

[–] MattMckenzy@lemmy.ml 2 points 7 months ago

I haven't really distributed any binaries yet, everything I work on is just FOSS at https://github.com/MattMckenzy.

However, I did look into packaging my HomeCast project in my own debian apt repository. It's still unsigned at the moment, but when I get to it I imagine I'll just use dpkg and gnupg2 however I need to.
