I’ve recently installed Linux Mint 19.3 Xfce on a machine and I’m fairly new to the Linux ecosystem.

I checked the dotnet docs and didn’t see any specific steps for Linux Mint. I’ve also came across a few blog posts here and here.

Am I able to use the steps for a different flavor of Linux from the docs that will work for Linux Mint 19.3?

As I said I’m still getting my feet wet with Linux, but want to make sure I get dotnet up and running correctly.

Linux Mint 19.3 is based on a Ubuntu 18.04 distribution. It should be fine to follow the instructions of Ubuntu 18.04 x64. The installation is done via terminal and apt-get.

Taken from the doc:

wget https://packages.microsoft.com/config/ubuntu/18.04/packages-microsoft-prod.deb -O packages-microsoft-prod.deb
sudo dpkg -i packages-microsoft-prod.deb

Now you can install the sdk

sudo add-apt-repository universe
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install apt-transport-https
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install dotnet-sdk-3.1

Run in the terminal this command to check if the sdk has been correctly installed

dotnet --list-sdks

You don't need to install the .Net Core Runtime since SDK includes it.
