I created a new Console App in Visual Studio for Mac. Right click the project => options => Build => General.
I expect to see .NET core versions here. 3.1, 5.0, 6.0 apparently are .NET core versions. These look like standard .NET versions. So is standard .NET now running on Mac? Last I heard .NET core was created for cross-operating system compatibility.
yes you are right .Net Core was created for cross-operating system compatibility. When you choose the project type in Visual Studio you can choose between two Console Applications, one with .Net Framework and the other one for .Net Core.
