The Umbraco UI works in all modern browsers:

Local Development
One of the following OSs:
Microsoft Windows 10 or 11

Linux (Ubuntu, Alpine, CentOS, Debian, Fedora, openSUSE and other major distributions)
One of the following .NET Tools or Editors:

​JetBrains Rider version 2022.3 and higher
.NET Core CLI
.NET 7.0
SQL connection string (SQL Server)
When using Visual Studio as your primary Integrated Development Environment (IDE) we recommend finding and downloading the Software Development Kits (SDKs) for Visual Studio.
Hosting
Recommendation
For the best experience, we would recommend that you ensure your hosting environment has the following to run Umbraco CMS:
Windows Server 2019 and higher
IIS 10 and higher
SQL Server 2019 and higher
.NET 7.0
Ability to set file permissions to include create/read/write (or better) for the user that "owns" the Application Pool for your site (NETWORK SERVICE, typically)
You can use Umbraco Cloud to manage the hosting infrastructure. All Umbraco Cloud plans are hosted on Microsoft Azure, which gives your site a proven and solid foundation.
Minimum requirements to run Umbraco
Umbraco can run on an environment with the minimum requirements stated below:
Windows Server 2012 R2 and higher
IIS 8.5 and higher
SQL Server 2012 and higher / SQLite 3.38.0 or higher
.NET 7.0
Ability to set file permissions to include create/read/write (or better) for the user that "owns" the Application Pool for your site (NETWORK SERVICE, typically)
For more information, see the Host and deploy ASP.NET Core applications article in the Microsoft documentation.
Database Account Roles
The database account used in the connection string will need permissions to read and write from tables. It will also require permission to create schema during installs and upgrades:
The db_owner role has full permissions on the database.
To use an account with more restricted permissions, the db_datareader and db_datawriter roles will be needed for normal use to read from and write to the database. The db_ddladmin role, which can modify the database schema, is required for installs and upgrades of the CMS and/or any packages that create database tables.
For more information on the Database-level roles, see the Microsoft documentation.
