FYI, you can use C# (.Net 5, formerly Core) cross platform with tooling 
for Windows, Linux and MacOS.  Though Visual Studio proper is still 
windows, you can do a lot with VS Code and the command line tooling.

A lot of the apps at work are targetting Linux/Docker for testing. 
Depending on what you're using in terms of dependencies may be easy 
enough to update/port.

LOL, yeah I understand trying to create time and motivation.  Of course 
modern node/browser/deno environment development is quite a bit 
different than with Synchronet these days... SBBS feels kind of alien to 
me now, not to mention all the work done by everyone since I last really 
worked much with it.
