I have searched all Microsoft documentation and I can't find anything that explicitly states whether Visual Basic is supported by .NET Core on Linux. So, does .NET Core on Linux support Visual Basic and is there a yeoman generator for Visual Basic applications?

You can run Visual Basic, VB.NET, C# code and applications on Linux.
NET Core Console/libraries and you can create VB apps with WinForms and WPF that look like C# apps. VB in . NET Framework is supported and many new Visual Studio features work for VB.
The . NET Core runtime allows you to run applications on Linux that were made with . NET Core but didn't include the runtime. With the SDK you can run but also develop and build .
Both Visual Basic and C# customers can continue to use . NET Framework and need to port to . NET Core only if you want features like those listed above. If your application uses technologies that aren't supported on .
No, there is no Visual Basic support yet. At the very bottom of the roadmap in the "future work" section, it said at one time, that Visual Basic support was set for quarter 3 of 2016, but it is still not released as of March 2017. It is still planned.
Since ASP.NET Core is the most common thing that targets the .NET Core framework, the answer I've provided refers to that.
