Does this still use mono's jit and GC on mac and linux? Last I checked mono's GC is conservative and the jit isn't as good as the .NET one.

It does not; it uses the same JIT and GC as the Windows version of .NET Core, and the code is also shared with the (full) .NET Framework that ships inside Windows.

Actually, this has always been the case for .NET Core, but you may be thinking of our older preview versions which gave you the option to run your app entirely on mono.
