Installing Eclipse

First install Eclipse and Eclipse Marketplace

$ sudo dnf install eclipse eclipse-mpc

then install the aCute extension from the Marketplace

$ sudo dnf install monodevelop

Download Visual Studio Code and the C# Extension from the Marketplace

Alternatively use the VSCodium for Free/Libre Open Source Software Binaries of VSCode.

JetBrains Rider is the most complete C# IDE, however it is not open source.

VS Code and MonoDevelop work well for .NET Core and for Mono, respectively.

C# via Eclipse is still young and not very friendly for the former Windows developer, but it can be useful if you’re already an Eclipse IDE user.
