I used VS for years before switching to Rider and honestly... just jump in, there's not much to know. If you've used ReSharper the features should seem pretty familiar.
It is snappier than VS+R# (and I can't bear to give up all the R# features), it supports emacs key bindings, it has (IMO anyway) much better support for ancillary stuff like directly issuing DB calls or interacting with source control, and I'm just used to the IntelliJ platform after using it for years.
I've moved my laptops/desktops over to Ubuntu from Windows.
Rider was what I thought I'd give a go, with the idea that if it was really terrible I'd fire up a VM with Windows and VS.
As someone who's used Visual Studio since VS 2002, and ReSharper since (probably) 2006 - moving to Rider was pretty much run and go.
There's a few minor differences, but the only one that bugged me was the regional formatting options for the debugger. I still havn't figured out how to set it to use ISO8601 or something like it for formatting dates/times, and instead it picks something based on my OS configuration.
