I am running Arch Linux and want to do some .NET 6 development.
I do have the .NET SDK and runtimes installed.
~/code/bejebeje feat/login-button ❯ dotnet --list-sdks
6.0.101 [/home/j/.dotnet/sdk]
~/code/bejebeje feat/login-button ❯ dotnet --list-runtimes
Microsoft.AspNetCore.App 6.0.1 [/home/j/.dotnet/shared/Microsoft.AspNetCore.App]
Microsoft.NETCore.App 6.0.1 [/home/j/.dotnet/shared/Microsoft.NETCore.App]
The project I’m in was recently updated to .NET 6 from .NET Core 5.
The project builds fine, and I can run it with:
~/code/bejebeje feat/login-button ❯ dotnet run --project Bejebeje.Mvc/Bejebeje.Mvc.csproj
info: Microsoft.Hosting.Lifetime[14]
Now listening on: http://localhost:5000
info: Microsoft.Hosting.Lifetime[14]
Now listening on: https://localhost:5001
info: Microsoft.Hosting.Lifetime[0]
Application started. Press Ctrl+C to shut down.
info: Microsoft.Hosting.Lifetime[0]
Hosting environment: Development
info: Microsoft.Hosting.Lifetime[0]
Content root path: /home/j/code/bejebeje/Bejebeje.Mvc/
However, if I wish to watch and use hot reload, I get the following:
~/code/bejebeje feat/login-button ❯ dotnet watch run --project Bejebeje.Mvc/Bejebeje.Mvc.csproj
watch : Hot reload enabled. For a list of supported edits, see https://aka.ms/dotnet/hot-reload. Press "Ctrl + R" to restart.

Here’s a screenshot too (for colour).
Am I doing something wrong? I thought dotnet watch was supposed to work on all platforms.
