overview for nope

Well, I might try my luck with convincing my teachers to let us use avalonia but I'm not sure it will oucome to anything good. At this point I might as well use a VM for this, as I already had a VM for SolidWorks set up.

that could be a solution indeed, but I'm not sure the latest working version (2010) would have all the features that would fit my needs, see WIneHQ's rating history for Visual Studio

well, mono in itself seems to work and I have successfully built the hello world winforms program using mono, but the monodevelop IDE won't seem to work at all, which would make coding harder than it should be.
I've also seen things online saying that monodevelop is half dead, so I don't have much hope about this

none of that; it's a school project which imposed winforms, else I'd have found some thing that would have worked for my linux

Hi Lemmings, I wondered if anyone had successfully created a C# project that uses winforms on linux.
I just can't figure out how to do it.
I use Arch and have full dotnet 6 and 8 packages; but I can't dotnet new winforms as the template seems to not exist.
I also have installed mono and monodevelop installed, but even the simplest solution (Console App) can't load correctly (currently I have /usr/share/dotnet/sdk/8.0.102/Sdks/Microsoft.NET.Sdk/targets/Microsoft.NET.Sdk.DefaultItems.Shared.targets(152,5) : error MSB4062: The "CheckForImplicitPackageReferenceOverrides" task could not be loaded from the assembly /usr/share/dotnet/sdk/8.0.102/Sdks/Microsoft.NET.Sdk/targets/../tools/net472/Microsoft.NET.Build.Tasks.dll. Invalid Image Confirm that the <UsingTask> declaration is correct, that the assembly and all its dependencies are available, and that the task contains a public class that implements Microsoft.Build.Framework.ITask. but there were different similar errors before, these errors.
I don't really want to boot up a VM every time I have to code on that project, but I'm starting to feel desperate about this.

TLDR: How does one create and work on a WinForms C# project with linux ? Any suggestions are welcome

Some clarifications for future readers :

It is for a school group project; winforms in imposed, which sadly won't let me go with Avalonia
