Can .Net 4.6 run on linux

Question

I am upgrading a web project from DotNet 4.6 to DotNetCore 2.0, and I intend to run this application on Linux. I would like to postpone upgrading some of the code to DotNetCore - such as referenced DLLs. I found that you can reference older DLLs in DotNetCore in this answer

Add .NETFramework 4.5 dll to .NETCore project.

But, I am guessing this will not allow me to run on Linux? Is that right? Is there any way around this?

Answer 1

You possibly can run such DLLs on Linux if they don't contain any windows platform specific references (WinForm, WPF, WCF, XAML, COM):
