❔ Visual studio 2022 with wine on linux
Hello! I'm trying to develop an app (web/system like winform) and I am also a Linux user (Ubuntu). I must use visual studio 2022 and c# to develop an app. I don't have any other choice! I tried running a virtual machine on my sistem... it's not very great and it's working awfull (like I can't code or do something to intense), I also tried to use my old laptop but it can barely run windows so every single option that includes windows is not possible in my situation. My idea was to try wine to install visual studio to make an app. I don't really care if sys app doesn't work, all I need is a type of app , even a web app is good+ the visual studio interface to create an app with blocks, that's why I'm not using vscode or any other IDE. Any idea if VS even works on wine? I don't wanna break my system or install everything for nothing.

you must use VS?
i also don't know what you mean by "app with blocks"
VS doesn't run on linux and neither does windows forms or WPF, your best bet is rider and avalonia
So I can't use visual studio 2022 on Linux, it's not possible...no? Then I guess I'll have to make a dual boot on my main systembut this might be dangerous and bad .
well, if you absolutely require VS you have no choice
what do you think you need VS for that no other IDE can do?
I can't use another IDE and I don't think that I can find an IDE like VS
rider
Well I'm going to a competition and I only have access to notepad++ and VS2022 to code an app in c#
I can't install another IDE
if your goal is to mimic the competition environment then you should install windows anyway
Yeah.... I'll try...I think I might move again on windows for a while then I'll move back to Linux
I still hate windows for updates, useless apps/background processes and more
I tried tiny11, it's even worst and tiny10 is just unstable
I think I can go with tiny 10 and Virtualbox,this might save me for installing win10 as my second OS
Or
Azure dev box was made generally available just recently
You connect to a cloud virtual machine catered to developer needs
I also suppose you could install Windows on an external SSD disk, and just select it as the boot device
Dual boot
I can't do that. Not enough space. I wanna use a VM
And a VM requires no space...?
I have a 4TB HDD
External sadly
But I can use it in this situation
unless it's USB 2 the fact it's external won't be the limiting factor
