There is a way to make .net run on other platforms

Theriotically it should not be limited by platform as all of the code
will get convert to IL. and yes there are practical issues while
porting them..

As told by Mark Rae
.NET runs on Windows and on other platforms via Mono.
.NET runs properly on Windows.

To be pedantic, .NET itself *only* runs on Windows. However, .NET is
just *an* implementation of the Common Language Infrastructure (CLI)
and there are others, such as Mono. In other words, Mono isn't an
implementation of .NET, it's an implementation of the CLI, in a similar
way to Apache and IIS both being web server implementations rather than
Apache being an implementation of IIS.
