.NET 9 Now Available

[EliCarenza]

Microsoft has recently released .NET 9!

Is anyone here planning to start using it? I noticed the AUR builds were stuck on version 8, so I had to install these packages to add .net 9 support to my machine:

aspnet-runtime-bin

dotnet-host-bin

dotnet-runtime-bin

Generally I'd wait for a patch or two to start pushing production projects to it. But there's not really a reason to not move over to a new major version beyond that.

I'm already enjoying some of the build tool chain changes, just better UX in general for CLI stuff.

I kind of stumbled into using .NET 9 early on a few projects.

I'm super excited for the apparent performance improvements, this is going to be a huge deal for the stuff I got running on the Pi (which is already pretty snappy/fine, but reduced memory footprint helps squeeze them onto the smaller Pis)


On that note though, I had to upgrade to 24.04 from 22.04 and completely messed up apt in the process, ended up having to basically copy /etc/apt from another fresh Ubuntu install to fix it.
