Is linux still supported by groupdocs v23?

@talaw

Yes.
Please share your complete development environment details and a sample application using that issue could be reproduced at our end.

Moreover, it looks more like an environment related issue (e.g. missing dependencies/packages on Linux).

How can we share our code with you?

Ps. The official MS doc says System.Drawing.Common is only for Windows:

Please use this modified Dockerfile.zip (499 Bytes).
Add next to your converter.csproj file a file named runtimeconfig.template.json with the following content:

{
    "configProperties": {
        "System.Drawing.EnableUnixSupport": true
    }
}

Let us know if issue persists.
