Quickstart: Deploy an ASP.NET web app | 2. Publish your web app | 3. Choose the Specific target, either Azure App Service (Linux) or Azure App Service (Windows). Then, select Next.

It would help the community and knowledge capital (including the ChatGPT answers) if this article (https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/app-service/quickstart-dotnetcore?tabs=net70&pivots=development-environment-vs#create-and-publish-the-web-app) could be updated to specify that when (Visual Studio) creating a new Host Plan under the Publish profile, that only Azure App Services (Windows) offers the free tier. The Azure App Services (Linux) does not allow creation of the free tier from Visual Studio. Please update Section 2 Step #3 with a note that only Windows supports the Host Plan Free Tier creation.

Sidenote: Also, I went ahead to the portal and created Azure App Services (Linux) with a Free F1 host plan, and then tried to Publish to this existing web app service, and it does not recognize it. This is either a Visual Studio bug or knowledge gap with Visual Studio and publishing to free tiers (Linux).
