Yeah, that's pretty dated. There's one flavor of dotnet (more or less) that runs on everything, and it's about as efficient as anything with a garbage collector can be.
There are hairs that could be split in there, such as the release cadence, hosting bundle vs desktop runtime, but that's all much simpler than it used to be. You generally know if you want to run a desktop app vs a webserver.
