Hi,
Is it valid to use VS version on Oracle Linux OS? Which VS version is fine for that?

No, Visual Studio(2022/2019/2017) is not supported on Oracle Linux OS or any linux distribution.
You can use Visual Studio code(VS code)
· Cross platform(works on windows,linux,macOS)
· Officially supported on Oracle Linux
· Supports C#,.Net ,python,java etc via extensions
· Visual Studio Code - Code Editing. Redefined
Hope this helps. Please let me know if you have any other query.

Visual Studio is windows only. MS recently dropped support of the Mac Version, so Linux version is probably also out of scope.
Visual Studio Code has pretty good .net support, but it’s not an IDE. You will generally need to manually edit the project files. Advanced activation for debugging will require learning how to edit the launch file settings for the VS Code debugging support. VS code does have very good copilot support.
you don’t specify the type of applications you want to build. If server based, then VS code is probably fine,. if you want to develop Maui Android apps, look at running Visual Studio in a windows vm.
jetbrains rider is an ide available for Linux. this is the closet to a Visual Studio experience you can get.
Hi Bruce,
To Maui Android app, does it mean we can still develop it within Windows OS and further deploy the created application into Android OS?
You can develop, test and publish Maui Android apps on windows with VS (Android studio also runs on windows). To test and publish IOS apps, a paired Mac is required.
Many thanks. Do we use Maui app to link to any DB (database)?
Maui generally targets mobile devices, which support the SQLite database. If targeting windows or Mac Catalyst, then connectivity to other databases is practical.
note: while Android is a valid target, standard Linux is not.
Do you mean we have web.config file for that (or the similar file)? Any example?
web.config is a configuration. file used by IIS. asp.net core apps use app settings.json
to run asp.net core on linux, typically you would use apache or nginx as a reverse proxy. then use systemd to start the app.
Any example of app settings.json to Maui app?
Any specific setup/setting for Maui app to run inside Android OS?
Maui apps typically don't have an app settings file. you can add support by including the configuration package and adding a json app setting file to the project. but as the user can not edit a settings file, preferences are preferred.

note: if your target is an android mobile app, and dev environment is oracle linux, you may want to look at android studio or IntelliJ IDEA
Thanks a lot. More detailed example to add a json app setting file to the project?
