I thought at some point they dropped all those and it’s just .net now?
Edit: nope, you’re right. Here’s the explanation from Microsoft
There are multiple variants of .NET, each supporting a different type of app. The reason for multiple variants is part historical, part technical.
.NET implementations:
- .NET Framework – The original .NET. It provides access to the broad capabilities of Windows and Windows Server. It is actively supported, in maintenance.
- Mono – The original community and open source .NET. A cross-platform implementation of .NET Framework. Actively supported for Android, iOS, and WebAssembly.
- .NET (Core) – Modern .NET. A cross-platform and open source implementation of .NET, rethought for the cloud age while remaining significantly compatible with .NET Framework. Actively supported for Linux, macOS, and Windows.
