I still have to wait for sql server to be ported. But my day job as a c# dev is the only thing keeping me on windows at the moment.

Good point, however, you could always try to run the SQL Server remotely or on VM for the development purposes.

No, classic form stuff is not supported.

There are only some open-source libraries but they are very new.

Depends on the GUI framework it uses.

GDI actually exists for Linux (at least for Mono), but it's not really something you want to use in production.

Windows Forms doesn't exist (yet). IIRC that's what paint.net uses, so you're out of luck.

Third party toolkits like GTK#, wx.NET or QtSharp will work on both OSes.

You could use MySQL? It has full EF7 support AFAIK.

I've considered a Sql Azure instance for this purpose, for a small dev database its pretty cheap. Not ideal but Sql Server for linux is coming so might be ok as a stop gap.
