I can assure you, you are wrong. Most Linux devs and admins don't know lick all about best practices/maintenance/care-amd-feeding of a .NET runtime.

I get the pain at seeing a snap judgement against a valid virtual machine. But we just don't have the wide scale practice of running that virtual machine, like we do node or python or jvm or rails. .NET has long been a very distant satellite practiced by people who are not like us, who don't run Linux.

It's no longer a hard barrier to cross (running .net on Linux)! Many people do! Yay!! But it still feels like a separate world from a separate place & circumstance.




This is a superficial and personal perception that is not in sync with the state of the industry. This kind of bias, luckily, is highly regional, but its concentration around some US states has been unfortunately contributing to its toxicity here and on similar websites. At some point it has to stop, people like you are not doing it out of positive motivation. As stated previously, it’s a tribalistic behavior over perceived allegiances to companyA over companyB. Maybe you should also stop using Java, Go, Rust and every other platform and almost every other reasonably useful language too? They are mostly driven and/or owned by big corporations after all.

You are, quite literally, criticizing a tool that integrates better and requires less ceremony than other options listed or assumed (consider the amount of ceremony your average process of building Redis Server requires). It's been 8 years already, and nothing needs to be proven anymore, it's more of a matter of persistent annoyance to deal with this sentiment. That's all.

What makes me sad personally is that this kind of sentiment encourages making worse software products by promoting less convenient, slower and of poorer quality choices over a better technology.


I don't know what to tell you. I'm not trying to criticize anything. I'm offering a well founded basis explaining why people are shy of a technology.

It's not a giant conspiracy theory. It's not some underhanded badmouth campaign.

.NET comes from a very different background that was remote from what everyone else was doing. That's just a fact, that's a true history, and it matters.

But you can't seem to face that truth in any way. And are aggressively crapping the hell out of this Redis thread with outrage that we haven't welcomed you by laying out the palm leaves & celebrating your entrance.

I'm extra shy of Garnet because of this incredibly over-the-top mercenary & reckless assault on discourse, and your attempts use shame and force to mute anyone trying - even gently - to discuss .NET hesitancy.


Fortunately your opinion of Garnet means absolutely nothing to anyone else.


It's not just my opinion that .net is a foreign vm to most Linux users.

And it's not helping ya'll's case that snarky snippey non-reply attacks are what we are seeing on display from advocates in these threads. You an neonsunset have 13 replies between you, where you've attacked and assaulted and belittled anyone trying to do much as mention that .net is a bit off-brand for Linux & sharing some discomfort with it. I've never seen an appeal for popularity that relies on overwhelming force like this, very novel attempt!
