From Leo AI: .NET Core and .NET 5 are generally considered to run lighter than Mono. .NET Core and .NET 5 are optimized for performance and have better support for cross-platform development, which includes better performance on Linux and other operating systems. Mono, while still widely used, is often seen as slower and less stable, especially for web applications. However, Mono has strengths in areas like WebAssembly and ahead-of-time compilation for iOS, which .NET Core does not fully...

What is Mono?
Mono is a free and open source project led by Xamarin (formerly by Novell and originally by Ximian) to create an Ecma standard compliant .NET Framework-compatible set of tools including, among others, a C# compiler and a Common Language Runtime.
The stated purpose of Mono is not only to be able to run Microsoft .NET applications cross-platform, but also to bring better development tools to Linux developers. Mono can be run on many operating systems including Android, BSD, iOS, Linux, macOS, Windows, Solaris, Unix, and some for game consoles such as PlayStation 3, Wii, and Xbox 360.
