MS recently pointed SQL Server to Linux. It was a relatively feasible project because they already had an OS abstraction layer built so that 99% of the code didn't have to worry about differences in Windows versions.

Did you ever see history portrayed as an old man with a wise brow and pulseless heart, weighing all things in the balance of reason?
Is not rather the genius of history like an eternal, imploring maiden, full of fire, with a burning heart and flaming soul, humanly warm and humanly beautiful?

You can run SQL on Linux now.

Common sense is admitting there is cause and effect and that you can exert some control over what you understand.

Visual Studio Code and .NET Core should do the trick, but I can't imagine you haven't considered that?
I haven't developed on Linux, but I've built and hosted an ASP.NET Core with EF Core application on Linux.

I don't want to target Linux for deployment. I want to develop MVC apps on a Linux box.

Yeah, but if I can build and host a .NET Core web application on Linux it shouldn't be a problem to write your code on Linux too, using vi, of course!
And if vi isn't your preferred code editor (but why wouldn't it be?) you can use Visual Studio Code to write, run and debug your .NET Core code

If I understand you correctly, it shouldn't matter in the least. No more than the reverse, or for that matter, if sent to an iMoan or Android device. It's all up to the browser, and that could be more of a problem the the O/S.
Somehow, though, that seems like too obvious an answer to your question - you probably know this and mean something else.

We use Visual Studio code in Linux and macOS. .NET Core, while still immature, will get you a fair way.

.....you can't use "beefstew" as a password, because it's not stroganoff.

 There was notice of this yesterday...

Yeah, but stroganoff IS actually beef stew, so the joke makes no sence. That's why I changed it yesterday:

Ahhhh, as I mentioned earlier I wasn't on yesterday so didn't see this.

Actually stroganof is not stewed. It is a sauté of beef with sour cream. The beef should be pink still, and the cream not separate.

Battleship pink or more a chocolate pink?

Yesterday I was looking for the right paint for my model beef. Could be Olive Pink, Medium Field Pink or maybe Marine Pink.

Several years ago - I forget how many, but earliest file dates are 2011 - I wrote a quick and dirty DB app to store "common replies" to QA questions - some are comments, some are "what I changed", some are replies.
And today, I just noticed the DB and had a quick look. You see, in order to make it more useful, I increment a counter each time I use a reply, so the "popular ones" float to the top. Each one has an ID, a one line description, and a uses counter, as well as teh full text.
And at number one - predictably enough: "We can't read your mind" (1730)
Number two: "We don't do your homework" (1585)
Then we're down to 3 digits immediately:
"Use the "Improve question" widget" (811)
"Code block added" (777)
"Don't Shout" (686)
"Use parametrized queries"(590)
Surprisingly, "Google is your friend" only reached number 9, and "Null reference exception" didn't get a look in until number 16.
So actual answers to questions didn't get up into the top fifteen! 
I think that says a lot about the quality of of question setters, I'm afraid ...

The saying "there are no stupid questions" is clearly, um, stupid.
