No problem developing Blazor apps in Linux. Dotnet even run better in Linux. I'm a dotnet developer myself and running Ubuntu on work and Fedora at home and never had any problem. SQL Server is also available on Linux. I think you can also develop Xamarin apps in Linux too but never tried that. With .NET Core the platform doesn't really matter :) By "developing is horrible on platform X" I don't really understand what you mean :)

I don't think I can install Visual Studio in Linux, and there is one for macOS, but is different version.

You can go even better - install VS Code! I went from Win10 and VS to Linux and VS Code and never been happier. VS is super heavy, while Code is lighter and I'm sure already has more features than VS because of the extensions. I remember a colleague of mine which refused to use Code spinning 4-5 VS instances for our projects while I was switching between them with a click of a button.
