Umbraco .NET Core

Linux was out of the question because of the .NET Framework limitations.

But here's where the plot takes a thrilling twist.

With the advent of Microsoft's .NET Core 3.0, Umbraco's developers saw an opportunity.

The launch of Umbraco V9 on September 28th, 2021, marked a significant milestone: Umbraco CMS officially joined the .NET 5/ASP.NET Core family.

Now, why is this such a big deal?

Well, let me break it down for you:

  1. True Cross-Platform Magic: You can now run your Umbraco website on the platform of your choice, be it Windows, Linux, or macOS.

  2. The Freedom of Development tools: .NET Core liberates your team, providing access to cutting-edge development tools of choice, such as Visual Studio Code, Visual Studio, JetBrains Rider, etc.

  3. Performance and Scalability: .NET Core ensures better performance, scalability, enhanced security, and a cleaner architecture.
