dotnet on Ubuntu Touch

Schlicki2808

A year before, I managed to install dotnet on Ubuntu Touch. I used the UI Tweak Tool on Xenial to unlock the file system. Then, I used apt get for installing. Meanwhile, I found out that you can install the binaries manually which is good because you don't have to unlock the file system.

Why I'm writing this? Because, in my opinion, it's awesome. Thanks to the fact that Ubuntu Touch is an open linux system, you can install and run dotnet applications. I've prepared a c#-console app as well as a Blazor project which runs fine.

My steps were:

Installing dotnet
Creating a new blazor server application
Disabled background suspension for terminal
dotnet run on my blazor application
Et voila: running a blazor application in Morph Browser

I think, this is another great possibility to create more apps or to reuse already existing apps (where possible and where it makes sense). Also, you can use c# which is a nice language

If there is a general interest on this, I could dig deeper into this topic.
I'm thinking of:

having an app that makes it easy to install dotnet (similar to Alfred's snapz0r etc.)
having an editor to create c# applications. Maybe Seabass, tedit or Touch IDE We also have codium, but it's not suitable for mobile devices.
having a source where we can provide dotnet apps optimized for Ubuntu Touch.

I am looking forward to your opinion!

@AdhithAdhi I've installed it via apt-get install after I switched the file system to read/write. But there is another way to manually install it which could be the better way:
