Great !! ... good to know !! ... and what about GUI visual desktop applications ? ... can I do a C# desktop app to access the GPU card for example and make it run at Mac, Windows and Linux ?

i dont know about accessing the gpu, but GUI is still not yet cross platform but will be in a radical way in the next releases, .Net is going to introduce a one single way of writing GUI that runs on every platform from phones to desktop, for now you need to Run windows to do uwp or wpf, but thats only the UI part not the Logic , thats 100% cross platform , so a desktop app withou a UI is possible
there is a library called AvaloniaUI which lets you write cross platform GUI tho. its not from microsoft and its powerfull.

OK, good to know !! ... I will give it a check to C# and specially F# when the GUI part is ready ... in the meantime JavaFX with Scala is good enough since it’s already a GUI cross platform
