I have searched all Microsoft documentation and I can't find anything that explicitly states whether Visual Basic is supported by .NET Core on Linux. So, does .NET Core on Linux support Visual Basic and is there a yeoman generator for Visual Basic applications?
No, there is no Visual Basic support yet. At the very bottom of the roadmap in the "future work" section, it said at one time, that Visual Basic support was set for quarter 3 of 2016, but it is still not released as of March 2017. It is still planned.
Since ASP.NET Core is the most common thing that targets the .NET Core framework, the answer I've provided refers to that.
Visual Basic is supported by .NET Core starting with .NET Core 2.0 Preview 1.
I have a game written in MonoGame in VS2012. How can I create setup file witch will also install .net framework if user doesn't have it?
There are no setup projects in VS 2012, unless you get the InstallShield LE add-in. VS 2010 had setup projects; VS 2013 supports the return of installer projects as an add-in. Therefore you may be stuck looking for a 3rd party solution, like InstallShield LE or any other number of other tools that can build setups and have a VS IDE add-in support (such as WiX). List of tools here:
http://www.installsite.org/pages/en/msi/authoring.htm
If you are keen on VS setup projects and want a simple tool that does the basics without you needing to learn too much, moving to VS 2013 and using the installer projects add-in would probably suit you.

If I buy TFS will it covers the visual studio 2012 functionalities such as creating projects, build , compile. Or TFS it is mainly a support service to VS to give VS more collaboration and management control? Best Regards
TFS (Team Foundation Server) is a tool for the Application Lyfecycle Management (ALM) process.
It delivers the features such as:
Version Control
Requirements Management
Build Automation
Test Case Management
It enables full integration with Visual Studio IDE and gives the collaboration and management features in use for a team's ALM process.
So basically, Visual Studio is the development platform while TFS is the enhancer and collaborator for multiple instaces of Developers, Testers, Analyzers and vice versa.
TFS don't have the abilities like: development, creating projects.

So my question to you is which is better for web development, Dreamweaver cs6 or Microsoft visual studio 2012? I am curious to see if there are major advantages to one or the other? Or if there are small things that end up being a pain in the ass because you have to keep dealing with them throughout the development cycle? Don't hold back! I want the truth!
You can use an open source IDE like Aptana or Netbeans.
If I had to choose between mentioned two , I would choose Microsoft visual studio 2012 . I think Microsoft visual studio 2012 is way more powerful and gives you flexibility to integrate with other essential web development components.
In other words , Microsoft visual studio 2012 can do everything dream weaver can offer(I think ) , but not vice versa .
I realise that VS2012 Express Edition now supports NuGet packages. Any idea if the limitations on adding productivity tools like Resharper or Reflector in VS Express Editions 2012 has now been changed? I've drawn some reference from Restrictions on installing extensions or add-ins in Visual Studio 2010 Express. However, I'm looking for whether the behavior has changed with VS 2012.
This limitation is likely to be virtually forever. The rationale for this is that an Express addition plus plugins could very well be everything people need, removing the incentive to buy the 'paid' versions of VS. IIRC, the author of TestDriven.NET has had his MVP status revoked after making his plug-in compatible with VS Express.
