From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

I'm about to start a new job working with C#/.NET and will try to practice before I start. How much of a pain is it to do on Linux?

You have MonoDevelop and Mono itself.

I would recommend it over main DotNET for GNU/Linux environment and in general.

It is compatible with main DotNet and, in comparison with DotNet, can be built at all from source, making it truly FLOSS.

Edit:

Don't get confused by some people, Mono is not deprecated nor abandoned, it is even integrating some things from DotNet. As date of today is perfectly maintained.
