Hi, I am new to DNN and I am looking for a CMS which is build in .NET.
DNN looks quite good, but does it support .NET 8? I would like it to deploy in LINUX machine.
Thanks

The answer is no, I'm afraid. DNN is based on Web Forms, therefore .Net 4.8 is required.

Maybe you want to look at Oqtane (https://www.oqtane.org/)

Happy DNNing!

Why on a Linux machine? VMs and hosting is pretty ubiquitous for both Windows & Linux these days, making the choice often just one checkbox or the other.

LInux does not require any licenses. Windows Server 2022 + 4 CPU cores is very expensive, Linux is free. This is one the reasons DNN must be able to run on .Net core. If nothing happens the project is dead.
