[Microsoft Support for .NET](https://github.com/dotnet/core/blob/master/microsoft-support.md) describes support for various .NET versions.
## Support changes from .NET Core 3.1
The supported platform matrix for .NET was established in .NET Core 1.0 and has been mostly unchanged. With the introduction of .NET 5, we're taking the opportunity to apply a data-driven approach to which platform are considered for support.
Practically, there are a limited number of platforms on which .NET can be defined as "supported". In this instance, "supported" means that Microsoft performs a sufficient level of testing on the listed platform to honestly attest that .NET will function within known parameters. The decision to offer .NET support on a platform rests on a few data points among which are, demonstrable community usage at a level that warrants specific testing and, sufficient agreement between the .NET lifecycle policy and the platform enabling support timelines and releases that make sense.
Based on the above criteria, Windows ARM32 and Oracle Linux will be removed from the list of supported OS platforms for .NET 5.
