I am thinking of spinning up a Linux partition, and changing over to Jetbrains Rider as an IDE this year.

Has anyone tried developing Acumatica Customizations and running/testing them in Linux using an Apache Web Server as the app runner, and something like Rider IDE for development?

Just wondering...

From my understanding, it appears that Acumatica is heavily integrated with the MS Ecosystem. I love Linux as much as anyone, but the design choice to remain in the fold of MS: on the front end- MS outlook integration, and on he back end: C#, Odata, and MS SQL Server seems to make sense because of how MS caters to enterprise use cases

Theoretically

Yeah… It is tightly coupled, for sure.

Theoretically, of course, you can develop full .NET stack applications in Linux. But, I haven’t had the nerve (or time) to try. Maybe some day when I take a week off work and get bored...

Nope. It is probably possible, but doesn’t seem worth the effort.
