That "decade-old question" continues to be basically ignored by Microsoft, with an employee responding:Īccording to your description, you would like to use the Visual Studio for Linux. But the Visual Studio IDE is only available for Windows. You could try to running a Virtual Machine with Windows. In addition, for your requirement, it has been reported here: Visual Studio for Linux. You can also add your comments in there to track the process, then we need to waiting for the response comes from the product team engineers. If there is any update, I will also add it here. Posted even longer ago (October 2018), that request reads: Top Items on Microsoft Developer Community Site (source: Microsoft). We need a lot of MS IDE for Linux, VSCode is very good for front end, but we have specific needs in the backend that only an IDE can supply. I do not understand why VS for mac already exists and for Linux nothing !!Īlong with the 1,873 votes (they totaled 481 in December 2020), the request generated 303 comments, which are also still rolling in this month, nearly four years later. I see this thread has been going on for 4 years and there's been no effort from microsoft to support linux developers. I use visual studio community every day and have been for over 5 years, but I don't think ms has any intention of porting vs to linux.
