There is no reason for linux not to have access to an excellent language, even if it is developed by Microsoft.
However, C# is not that language. Its productivity is vastly lower than many admittedly slower languages, and its feature set is fairly directly comparable to the now-open Java. But much more importantly, its semantics export win32-isms into Linux, making it a foolish choice for any development targetting Linux. File semantics, window's undefined globbing behavior, command launching, and other nastiness abound.
C# is not a very good technology. Don't believe the hype.

The language itself does no such thing that I can see. Some of the class libraries may. There is the whole POSIX tree though.
