Thanks for the pointers, I will definitely check both of these out. In my last attempt I got to the "can compile 'Hello World' from the command line and even debug it in VSCode" stage but after that things quickly went off the rails IDE-wise. I even tried MonoDevelop (did some C# work with it long ago) but IIRC the Xamarin stuff was barfing on one or more asp.net dependencies. Hopefully one of your links will be to an "Idiot's guide to F# on Linux" and then I'll be in good shape. :-)
