The standard .NET C# compiler and CLI run on and build for Windows, MacOS, and Linux. You can run your ASP.NET webapps in a Linux docker container, or write console apps and run them on Linux, it doesn't matter anymore. As a .NET dev I have literally no reason to ever touch Windows, unless I'm touching legacy code from before .NET Core or building a Windows-exclusive app using a Windows app framework.

The sdk and runtime are available on all operating systems. I have used nvim on Ubuntu (wsl) to write and execute C#.

See all Operating Systems is a steep claim, that is how I originally misunderstood the meaning of fully cross platform.

I'm relatively certain that it won't run on DOS or an Arduino, thereby instantly disproving the 'all operating systems'.

Is there anything out there that’s that literal?

I mean, if you mean "the most common", that's way different. There's ones in use it definitely won't run on.
