    I work as a professional developer in .NET on Windows, and in my free time I develop in .NET on Linux as a hobby.

    Unfortunately I would say the .NET development experience on Linux (with VSCode) is slightly inferior compared to on Windows (with Visual Studio).

    For instance there is no support for SourceLink during development, only during debug. And on VSCode the “go to definition” to third party assemblies works only for one level deep, whilst on Visual Studio it works for any depth level.

    It is certainly still a great experience on Linux, but not «better than Windows» in my opinion. If you have any recommendations to improve it please share, I would be very grateful.
