US should really rethink Israeli interference into their elections, forget Iran, N. Korea and Russia.
Like drinking vodka and killing Ukrainians, eh?
The thing is that we have to define what exactly we are talking about. Existing Linux devs are indeed unlikely to switch to .NET, though perhaps a bit unfairly (based on 'old' Microsoft) but who really knows what future brings. Anyway, I was talking about .NET apps running on Linux, not about Linux developers switch to .NET. We can agree on this, right?
No stats, just what I see and consider logically. If you have a .NET (web) app, it makes sense to run it (for free) under Linux (directly or using docker/kubernetes/etc.) instead of paying Windows server license. Sadly I don't see download counter for dotnet linux images but they would be some sort of an indicator. I can believe Desktop apps are not many, though, for historical reasons mostly. But now one can create a standalone nice looking app as well, perhaps they will be more frequent in future, who knows.
If nothing else, a lot of (containerized) .NET (web) services run on Linux. Also note that .NET apps can be packed as standalone (ignore the size) and as such are as any other standalone app.
The problem with WinForms is that at least serious 3rd party libraries do a lot of direct API calls I guess, hence Wine.
Actually everybody will use .NET and not Mono if possible, as it's officially supported and a successor.
Huh, you are very much mistaken. Since .NET they have official and vast support for running on Linux and MacOS. Before they didn't and hence Mono/Xamarin.
Hm, WinForms and WPF with Wine you mean? Otherwise makes not much sense. Was WPF ever run in this combination!
Are they? Good to hear. However Samsung is starting mass production for EVs and they are targeting initially the most expensive segment. But let's see once they start producing them.
