.NET Core: To port or not to port?

Whether 'tis nobler in the mind to suffer the slings and arrows of multiple platforms; or by ignoring them, shipping something

.net is like twenty years old now and needs to be completely replaced.

Don't diss it. I'm 55 and still the best version of me. ;)

My favorites are (in no particular order): KDE, XFCE, and LXDE. I've also heard good things about the Cinnamon Desktop.
What do you get when you cross a joke with a rhetorical question? The metaphorical solid rear-end expulsions have impacted the metaphorical motorized bladed rotating air movement mechanism. Do questions with multiple question marks annoy you???

Waits for Q&A to be inundated with "How to convert my project to .NET Core? Please help it's urgent".

Gnome3 is the relative grown-up. But if you're using something other than BASH, you're wasting your time (or more precisely, your clock cycles).

The amount of profit they earn from Windows per se is comparatively small these days, as opposed to their applications that run on Windows. For them now, the cloud is the big thing. Windows remains important to host stuff in the cloud but otherwise "we can accommodate everyone else now and still make money" is the strategy. That's why they've become increasingly friendly to non-MS platforms and technology.

M.D.V. ;) If something has a solution... Why do we have to worry about?. If it has no solution... For what reason do we have to worry about? Help me to understand what I'm saying, and I'll explain it better to you Rating helpful answers is nice, but saying thanks can be even nicer.
