After reading positive reviews about Zorin OS, an Ubuntu based Linux distro, I decided to try out the Lite version.
See: Zorin OS 16 is exactly what a Linux desktop distribution should be - TechRepublic[^]
Installing on an old laptop from an USB drive went smoothly, even an old NVidia graphics card was detected.
It was quite a surprise that everything went so smoothly considering I don't have any Linux experience.
Also everything a normal user could want is pre-installed, like a browser, an office-suite, some simple games and several handy utilities 
But not being a normal user I went looking for trouble: hey let's install Visual Studio Code and try out .NET Core 6.0 I thought.
Not being used to Visual Studio Code, that did not go very smoothly and especially installing the .NET Core SDK and getting VS Code to work with it was a painful experience.
I ended up spending half a day to get a simple "Hello World" example working 
So for the time being I think I will not continue my coding adventures in VS Code ...

I have Visual Studio Code running on Ubuntu in a VM, and also in WSL. In both cases installation took a few seconds, and I can even start the WSL version direct from the Windows version. "Brilliant" is too small a word to describe such a user friendly product.

Yep, I also have VS Code running on (K)Ubuntu. It installed without a hitch and works absolutely fine. Note. On (K)Ubuntu 21.10 it's installed as a Snap Package - which is probably the simplest and most reliable way to install.. Run "snap list" to check if you have the Snap Package. It's name is "code".
|

Sadly VS Code could not be found in the package installer and I had to install from the website.
Maybe because Zorin OS Lite is based on an older Ubuntu version 18.04 ?

There are benefits in installing a snap package. It brings in all the dependencies, (i.e. other software that it needs), so it should just work no matter what distribution you are using. On the downside, it will use a little more disk space.
I'm not sure if Zorin comes with snap. The easy way to check is, at the command line, run "snap version". If you don't have it, (and would like to give it a try), it's easy enough to install - and there are plenty of articles explaining how. See link below for instance.
If you do have snap and would like to install the VS Code snap package: first remove your non snap version; then, at the command line, run "sudo snap install code". Note. "code" is the snap package name for VS Code.
I couldn't find any articles about snap on CP, so I'm going to have to point you elsewhere for a simple beginners guide: A Beginners Guide to Snaps in Linux - Part 1[^]
Hope this helps.

and did you also try to install .NET Core 6.0 ?

I haven't even tried .NET Core 1.0 yet.

I'm getting to like Hamster's latest "The Smallest Cog", but you can tell he's never had to handle business before - he's worse than Clarkson was at running a farm!

Oi what? I didn't see that yet, his last shot i saw was when they were on that island... "The great escapists"?
Clarkson running a farm was actually pretty delightful, and somehow he didn't screw up everything!

Richard Hammond's Workshop | Official Trailer | Discovery+ - YouTube[^]
It's not Prime though, it's Discovery+ unfortunately.
Honestly, the number of separate streaming services is getting on my t*ts - it's worse than the old days when you watched what four channels of terrestrial TV gave you when they gave it to you ...

Well, then that's the reason...
I only got Prime since yeah, all those different services are f'in me up.
It's so sad that TV with lots of commercials died for Services with commercials, additional costs and basically a huge amount of overlapping things to view.
But who are we to judge the wise ways of the interwebs.

If it's currently on D+, then there is a reasonable chance it'll appear in a few months on the public / free Discovery channel, if you get that. That's the way it seems to work with other D+ programs like Outback Gold Hunters for example.
