I'm new here but my experience was like this....

I need to create a program to generate some QR codes. Ok new console app and take default of .net 6. Open nuget... this was has 8M downloads lets give it a try. Go to the project and find the 5 line sample and paste it in. Hmmm that's strange this type isn't recognized. Go to issues page and find this issue. Switch to target windows only and not it compiles.

So I'd that a notation be placed in the README.md for newcomers like myself.
