C# is very very much a first class citizen on Linux. It may not be native, but you can run binaries on Linux without needing the runtime when you compile it to target the platform.
I wrote a couple of monoservices on my Mac using c# which ran perfectly on my Microk8s cluster on Linux.
I have nearly a decade of experience building .NET C# solutions on Linux and lately also on Mac, with almost everything hosted on Linux via Docker. I’m not sure what’s still missing for it to be accepted into the "first class citizen" club by the Linux elite.

That's tomorrow's problem, not today's? In the face of tyranny we stay on our toes and try to keep one step ahead of the dictators so we don't end up underneath their boots.
As the UK, USA, and 1/2 of Europe start modeling themselves after erdogan and putina, just know we are all facing the same enemies now.
Was thinking about a bring-your-own-machine setup but the complexity isn't worth the cost savings imo. That dang 30% Apple fee for payments inflates VM cost.
Is it just me, or is Sandstorm just not maintained any more?
The most recent closed issues were self closed rather than as the result of development, while meanwhile the open issues continue to pile up with virtually no code changes made to the tree…
It’s a shame because it seems like it could have been a thing. Sadly though it’s hard to justify time investment into a platform like this if you know there’s little to no chance of getting any issues fixed.
There is a small community working on it (hi!) but there is several hard problems in the way of moving forward, all of which can be solved with time and money, neither of which we have a lot of. :/
I think ten years on there remains nothing even remotely comparable to Sandstorm for a dozen reasons, but I also can't assure you an issue you find would get fixed expediently, for sure.
There is a small community maintaining it - there should be a link to the Zulip on the website - but it is a small group and a complex beast. Some effort is going into a rewrite that keeps the same app/security model, but moves from C++ to Go and simplifies the database layer. I believe that's taking up a fair bit of contributor energy.
I don't know about that, I happily use it to host a couple of Wekan and Dokuwiki instances, and some random Etherpad docs. It's certainly MVP-complete.
And even in its current state, it has some fantastic affordances that I don't feel I could get anywhere else.
For example, I had an instance running on my laptop to fiddle around with developing apps. I wanted to take a Dokuwiki on my laptop and move it to my cloud-hosted instance. I clicked "download backup" of the grain, which gave me a zip file which was whatever, 40MB or something, and then I went into my cloud setup, clicked "import from backup", and voila - my entire Dokuwiki grain was now in the cloud.

In other words, “we’ve been stealing everything and built our business on that theft, it would hurt Meta if they were held to accountable for all that theft”.
