> - In .NET 5 and previous versions, the [System.Drawing.Common](https://www.nuget.org/packages/System.Drawing.Common/) NuGet package works on Windows, Linux, and macOS. However, there are some platform differences. On Linux and macOS, the GDI+ functionality is implemented by the [libgdiplus)](https://www.mono-project.com/docs/gui/libgdiplus/) library. This library is not installed by default in most Linux distributions and doesn't support all the functionality of GDI+ on Windows and macOS. There are also platforms where libgdiplus is not available at all. To use types from the System.Drawing.Common package on Linux and macOS, you must install libgdiplus separately. For more information, see [Install .NET on Linux](/dotnet/core/install/linux) or [Install .NET on macOS](/dotnet/core/install/macos#libgdiplus).
