Where is "dotnet" on linux?

/bin/dotnet is a symbolic link to an ELF executable by the same name in: 
/usr/lib64/dotnet
At least that is how things are on my Fedora 40 system.

What can we learn?

A rich directory is: 
dotnet/sdk/8.0.108
Most of the files are .dll (which seem to be .NET IL language files) or .json. It looks like Microsoft abandoned XML and went "whole hog" for .json for most configuration files -- though XML does pop up now and again.
Feedback? Questions? Drop me a line!
