Change target framework depending on operating system

Question

I'm working on a project with someone else; they are using Linux, and I am using Windows.

Right now, I have this in my .csproj:

<TargetFrameworks>net5.0;net5.0-windows</TargetFrameworks>

but I need a way to say "if we are on Windows, use this target framework; else, use this other one." Is this possible?
