Due to popularity and out of great demand, Microsoft decided to simplify their overly complex framework and made it open source for the world.

Install .NET Framework on Ubuntu System
Let’s Do It!
First, grab the simplified deb file to add Microsoft self-hosted repositories using wget tool.
wget https://packages.microsoft.com/config/ubuntu/20.04/packages-microsoft-prod.deb -O packages-microsoft-prod.deb
Once you hit enter, wget will download a deb file which we will use to fetch a bunch of repositories for our needs and install them.
sudo dpkg -i packages-microsoft-prod.deb
Input your password and CLI will setup the packages for you. Get Ready For The Thrill!
Copy and paste given commands and wait. It might take some time to update and fetch the required files from Microsoft repositories depending on your connectivity speed.
sudo apt-get update
