I glad to read this. One of my long-term concerns with .NET, compared to other language ecosystems, is the risk that only Microsoft people might know how to build it and port it. Is any distro actually shipping .NET SDK packages built from source?

Yes, Canonical, RedHat, Fedora, Alpine, Centos, and Arch Linux. NixOS and nixpackages too.

Looks like I missed progress during the time I've been away from dotnet, thanks. I still had memories of having to install an MS repo for that.

Thanks for the reference. I had memories of having to install a Microsoft repository to install the SDK, that's an improvement.
