Is there a way to get the c# plugin for VSC to work on ubuntu linux for a project with target net5.0-windows?

Question

I need to write unit tests for a customers backend.

Given that the customer is heavily invested in a microsoft ecosystem, his backend makes use of some functionalities offered by setting net5.0-windows as target framework.

I meanwhile work on a linux machine (ubuntu 20.10, soon to switch to 21.04), so clearly would prefer keeping my optimized workflow going, instead of having to work on a makeshift VM surrounding.

So just to make sure, before I setup said VM: is there a way to get the WindowsDesktop.App Runtime to work on linux just fine enough to be able to write tests for it? Best using VSC with its C# plugin, but other options would be fine as well.

Answer 1

Seems the answer is as expected: yes, but no (not worth it). Thank you very much to all commenters.
