Can I create a server Conquer on linux hosting

Can I create a server Conquer on linux hosting ?

Yes, assuming you have root access and that it's not a webhost (technically you could do it on a webhost, but it would never scale well.)

can you explain more

Mono would allow a faster deploy time. Obviously dotnet core is the better option but it has missing features, like Windows Forms because it's obviously meant to run on any platform, and considering the question and who asked it, it's pretty likely they don't have enough knowledge to port the server themselves.

The missing features of .NET Core are not really required for a true server (.NET Core is targeted for servers/services). But yes, would be easier to run it on Mono without doing much changes.

I already ran COPS v6 on Mono. Few things do consider, but globally pretty straightforward.

That is true for a true server. However from my experience most Egyptian and generally people that don't know much about programming want a server with GUI.
I'm not sure what the behavior would be for trying to run a Windows Forms application with Mono in an environment without a window manager. I expect it would simply crash though.

System.Windows.Forms is part of a standard Mono installation.

Support for Windows Forms 2.0 is complete. At this point, we are largely just fixing bugs and polishing our code.

However, from what I've heard, it's still pretty shitty.

Unfortunately, a lot of the servers released here use a lot of kernel32 imports or other Windows-only stuff (for no good reason), but I don't think replacing those parts will take much effort.

I didn't say Windows Forms doesn't come with Mono. I just said that I am not sure what would happen if you try to run a Windows Forms application in an environment that is console-only (ie without X11 or Wayland or anything like that).

Oh, right, my bad :o.
