Hi Jason

Sorry for this. As per the error message suggests, dataset class is not supported by your Linux distribution. For Linux users, Dataset class is only supported on the following distributions: Red Hat Enterprise Linux, Ubuntu, Fedora, and CentOS.

@YutongTie-MSFT @MayMSFT Hi, Is there a fix planned for this? My distro is built on top of Ubuntu, so not sure why it shouldn't also work on my distro?

[MayMSFT]

we only support the following version of the distros:
Ubuntu: 14, 16, 18
Debian: 8, 9
RHEL: 7
Fedora: 27, 28
CentOS: 7

NO plan to add more support in the near future.

But Mint is based on Ubuntu 18.04...

@jmwoloso I run ubuntu 19.10, which is also not supported. But I can trick it to work by just lying to the dotnetcore2 code about what distro I am running. I add the following at the top of my code, before any azure imports.

from dotnetcore2 import runtime
runtime.version = ("18", "10", "0")
