A developer switching from Windows 11 to CachyOS (an Arch Linux-based distro) shares how to install the .NET 11 preview SDK alongside multiple stable .NET versions using AUR packages. The key insight is using dotnet-host-preview-bin as the common host package and installing three packages per SDK version (sdk, runtime, aspnet-runtime). The post lists the exact AUR package names needed for .NET 8, 9, 10, and the .NET 11 preview, and explains the naming conventions for stable vs. preview vs. versioned packages.
