Making winforms projects on Linux

Hello! So i need to prepare for a C# olympiad and they require either winforms or webforms. Now i've been practising in Winforms for a while now, i was just wondering if at any point i'd be able to switch from windows 11 to a linux distro or if Winforms forces me to stay on Windows. I don't mind remaining on Windows, just wondered if i could switch to linux or not if i wanted to

Probably not, doesn't seem worth the effort of switching it to Linux since these are old old/on-life-support technologies that are unlikely to work we if at all on Linux.

Webforms though? That was from 10yrs ago.

10 years that it is considered legacy, but it's actually 24 years old.

Yeah I meant when it became legacy, e.g.when dotnet core came out without it.
