whenever you want to build any project or run it, you have to have the programming language framework that it is using. in other words the dependency. if you try Electrum for instance you will have to install Python. in just happens that in some linux distros like Ubuntu it comes pre-installed.
the difference is Microsoft started .Net core recently and although multi platform projects are growing fast using .Net but it is not yet that popular for distros to include it with their releases.

Well, that's more or less what i meanth by my post (i might have worded it wrong, was a bit tired and english is not my native language)... That doesn't mean i'm comfortable installing the .net SDK on any non-sandbox machine. AFAIK, it's closed source, released by microsoft and it clearly states they can actually collect data and send it back to microsoft when you read the TOS...
I don't think it'll ever be included in popular linux distros because of these parameters (closed source, propriatary, data collection).

I know electrum needs python3, but i'm far more comfortable installing an open source python binary on my machines compared to some closed source microsoft framework that clearly tells you they'll probably be sending data back to microsoft.

But that's just my personal gut feeling... Everybody has to decide this for their own, and it has little to do with this wallet Smiley
