It's not wildly different IMO, but yeah it is different enough that you might not be interested.
Installing system packages means layering a commit on top of your base distro, so they urge most CLI stuff to be done in containers. GUI apps tend to be installed as Flatpaks, that part might be familiar.
If you're mostly working with Rider and can easily set it up to work with dev containers, the learning curve might not be too steep.
