In reply to cjrh. While conda seems great, changing deployment or other code to install and use conda is exactly the type of thing I was trying to avoid.

In reply to Steve Theodore. We could have probably gotten away with ClickOnce since Linux wasn't on the immediate roadmap. However a) none of us had used it and I didn't want to spend the time learning it, and b) I wasn't even sure it fit our requirements, for example some code branches would need different versions of our service. So immediately our use case was already quite advanced.
