yes ofcourse you can , the cross platform name for .Net is for now called .Net Core and its #1 most loved framework in stackoverflow statistic, you can do everything you want , the framework is stable. people are already using it in distributed systems and in big complex apps since as i said its 7x times faster then node.js and can support the Actor model, so there is literally nothing to worry about.
ps: i created a fully implemented Blockchain using .Net on linux
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
