I know this isn’t nearly close to a good answer but just so that you know.
(seriously it depends on your preferences)
C# is windows only for practical use, so just forget that.
If you want somethign similar to C# use Java.
Apart from this I’m sure someone else will be able to provide you with a better answer.
Also don’t use vim, emacs is the way to go.
vim and g++…You can find compiling tutorials for g++ easily with Google…It’s not very hard…These are both console/terminal apps, just so you know. If you don’t want to use vim (steep learning curve, but a programmer’s best friend once you know how to use it), just use nano (console/terminal app, but it has no syntax highlighting) or whatever GUI text editor you want to use.
And you won’t be using C# with Linux (you could try, but you’ll fail)…You’ll have to stick with C++.
If you want to compile windows binaries, all you need is a cross-compiler. You can also run windows compilers under wine. Testing C# code on linux will be a challenge, but can be done. If all else fails, you can run a version of Windows in a virtual machine on linux for an easy compiling/testing environment without switching over.
