This was maybe a problem on the early days of .NET Core, but from .NET 6 or so they have reimplemented (almost) all the stuff from the old .NET Framework and that in turn enabled relatively easy porting of third party libraries, so most of them are ported as of today (atleast more or less maintained ones).
Can confirm, dotnet works great on Linux. We have a lot of dotnet production systems running on Linux and Docker for many years now with zero issues. Also recommend Rider in Linux for development, even our Windows folks prefer it over VS nowadays.
How do you refactor code, if you have a poor test coverage? Also for me actually the most importan benefit is the instant feedback I get, when I write the unit tests before the implemenation. I can move faster with more confidents.
