C# via "mono" on linux

I am now running Fedora 40 on a 64 bit x86 system. I have gotten interested in learning C# and want to see what I an do using command line tools. I am enjoying using Mono so far and finding it useful. But I am learning that Mono is basically C# version 6. So I am missing some new features. I also read that Mono is an abandoned project as far as new development, so this will be how it is forever.

It is possible to install .NET from microsoft on linux. I am not sure all that this will give me. Microsoft also offers Visual Studio Code (not Visual Studio) for linux. At some point I can explore all of this.

Feedback? Questions? Drop me a line!
