Is the engine compatible with .NET core?

Why would it need .NET core?

One of the Linux platform options is .NET Core. I believe the Mac platform will also be .NET Core when it gets released. From v1.7.0-beta release:

Linux users rejoice! Linux is now a supported platform of Xenko among Windows, Android, iOS, and more! All you need is a PC running Linux Ubuntu 16.04 x64 or equivalent with a video card supporting OpenGL 4.2 or Vulkan 1.0. Mono or .NET Core (which need to be installed separately) will be powering your game.

It’s used for cross platform compatibility to run .Net on Mac and Linux. Though, it seems that one is supposed to target .Net Standard and not .Net Core anymore.

.Net Standard - Introduction

In my Xenko 1.9 project.json file, I can see NetStandard entries along the older NetCore portable class library thing.

Linux is already supported as a target platform.
