I want to ask a weird question. I'd love to learn ASP.net but i can't bring myself to deal with Microsoft Windows and their tech. Is F# a way for me to learn enough NET to make some money?

I'm .NET dev and haven't touch a windows device since 2019. Work on Mac, deploy to Linux.

I am also a C# dev and haven't worked on a Windows machine in 5 years.

C# and F# both work fine with Rider or VS Code on Mac or Linux.

Even in a VM? Why not?
