Native .NET Support Now Available In Ubuntu 22.04 By Canonical

Canonical is incorporating Microsoft's ASP.NET and .NET SDK into its latest Long Term Support version of Ubuntu.

Microsoft and Canonical, the company behind Ubuntu, have announced native .NET availability in Ubuntu 22.04. While open-source .NET has long been available in Ubuntu and other Linux distributions, this collaboration by Microsoft and Canonical will better secure the .NET software supply chain with enterprise-grade support. 

Specifically, .NET 6 developers can install the .NET 6 packages on Ubuntu with a single, simple command:

#sudo apt install dotnet6 

That's all there is to it.
