I’ve been watching the latest developments from Microsoft’s Build Conference today, and one of the more interesting things is Microsoft’s incorporation of Ubuntu into Windows 10.

As a web developer primarily utilizing .NET for backend server development, and as one who uses Linux for my own hosting environments, Microsoft’s efforts to make .NET 5 cross platform are welcome. Over the Labor Day weekend, I spent a bit of time seeing how I could leverage this to host .NET web applications myself. While I mention Mint Linux, specifically, this guide should apply to any Debian/Ubuntu derivatives.

My relationship with Microsoft, and especially Windows, is a love hate relationship. For some inane reason, Microsoft continues to differentiate their server/desktop products. Yet, the code bases for those products are, in effect identical.
Microsoft’s separation of product lines ultimately hurts consumers. We wind up with identical products that are artificially limited.
