Does anyone do Windows dev work on a Linux box? I'm assuming you can't do WPF stuff on a Linux box, but web projects should be doable, right?
I know we can't use Visual Studio (because it's a WPF app now), but are the alternatives in Linux suitable?

I assume you have heard of Mono, a rich open-source cross-platform port of .NET
mono-project.com
From what I have heard it is quite robust (but as you say no WPF)

I heard Mono ain't the best choice when doing MVC apps.
I was looking for someone that's gone completely to the dark side and moved to a Linux dev platform while still doing Windows (MVC) apps.
I'm assuming that it would also be easier to switch to MySQL to avoid having to setup a VM just to run SQL Server, but other concerns would be using Entity Framework, etc. I assume the connection strings need to be changed to identify the MySQL provider, but will EF6 (or any of the MVC assemblies for that matter) allow me to dev on Linux?

LOL I was assuming Linux was your target! I respect your ambition but have no help to offer.
BTW:
I have a weird setup here: I am typing this on a Windows machine but I develop inside a Linux VM and the target is Linux as well. When I started here I was still infatuated with Visual Studio and used that by mounting the Linux file-system over Samba. Seemed like a good idea at the time...  Now I have an IDE inside the VM. Pretty suboptimal and Windows update still elephants me every week. So it is just a matter of time before I gather up some energy to go pure Linux. Good luck with your dark-side-efforts!

MVC is my target. After googling for a while, it appears as if it's still a minefield of bullsh|t to have to go through. I was thinking of abandoning Windows, but it doesn't really seem practical to do so as a developer (translated - I'm lazy and it looks like a lot of work with no guarantees, so f*ck it).

MS recently pointed SQL Server to Linux. It was a relatively feasible project because they already had an OS abstraction layer built so that 99% of the code didn't have to worry about differences in Windows versions.

You can run SQL on Linux now.

Common sense is admitting there is cause and effect and that you can exert some control over what you understand.

Visual Studio Code and .NET Core should do the trick, but I can't imagine you haven't considered that?
I haven't developed on Linux, but I've built and hosted an ASP.NET Core with EF Core application on Linux.

I don't want to target Linux for deployment. I want to develop MVC apps on a Linux box.

Yeah, but if I can build and host a .NET Core web application on Linux it shouldn't be a problem to write your code on Linux too, using vi, of course!
And if vi isn't your preferred code editor (but why wouldn't it be?) you can use Visual Studio Code to write, run and debug your .NET Core code

If I understand you correctly, it shouldn't matter in the least. No more than the reverse, or for that matter, if sent to an iMoan or Android device. It's all up to the browser, and that could be more of a problem the the O/S.
Somehow, though, that seems like too obvious an answer to your question - you probably know this and mean something else.

We use Visual Studio code in Linux and macOS. .NET Core, while still immature, will get you a fair way.

.....you can't use "beefstew" as a password, because it's not stroganoff.

 There was notice of this yesterday...

Yeah, but stroganoff IS actually beef stew, so the joke makes no sence. That's why I changed it yesterday:

Ahhhh, as I mentioned earlier I wasn't on yesterday so didn't see this.

Actually stroganof is not stewed. It is a sauté of beef with sour cream. The beef should be pink still, and the cream not separate.

Battleship pink or more a chocolate pink?

Yesterday I was looking for the right paint for my model beef. Could be Olive Pink, Medium Field Pink or maybe Marine Pink.
