Either use the ADO.Net MySQL driver or you can do something like LinqToSql
with Devart's product (I've had great success using it for Postgres on
Linux, Mac, and Windows and it's medium price is worth leaving the hassle of
DbLinq behind).

Disclaimer, my personal opinion: with that said, Pg is a superior database
to MySQL.  For a free ADO.Net driver, see
