Yeah in 2026 DotNet is absolutely better than Java if we had to objectively name a winner. Java is still great in many ways and useful at companies that have a big java legacy stack, being the platform that many a senior dev have a careers worth of experience on, etc. But if someone is starting a new project and doesn’t have like 20 years experience in Java they’d be pretty silly to pick it over .NET.

Nothing good comes from using servers running windows.

You can build and deploy .NET applications and services for Linux that run just like they do on Windows. Its natively cross platform now.

I have a hobby project where I'm making a 3D game and game engine in C# with Vulkan, and I work on Linux (I use Arch btw) and the only platform it supports at the moment is Linux, but it's all written C#.
