@Gr3q Yes, let's add dotNET on Windows too, this is not confusing at all. Ok, so from what I understand:
dotNET Framework - Windows-only libraries and tools for running and developing dotNET programs.
dotNET - Pretty much the same thing, but cross-platform, also without a native ability to create GUIs on Linux (at least until MAUI gets released in v6)
dotNET Core - LTS version of the normal dotNET?

IMPORTANT INSTALLATION INFO (a reminder for myself as well):
For dotnet to work you need to EXPLICITLY install:
If you keep the install order in mind and you don't rely on pacman to resolve your dependencies you will be fine.
Longer explanation:
Every dotnet-sdk is dependent on a specific version of dotnet-runtime, this is built into dotnet.
Technically you only need the latest dotnet-sdk because it can build to any earlier versions.
