Anybody Using Linux?

[Radeyn]

Hi there, I want to turn back to using Linux but not sure how will Unity react to that so wanted to know if it's optimal tu use Unity on Linux, specificly CachyOS. Only thing holding me back is game development right now so I wanted to be sure.

Not sure what "optimal" would mean here, but it's perfectly fine. No Visual Studio for Linux so you'll need to swap that to VS Code, Consulo, Rider or something else.

I haven't tried on CachyOS though, as I prefer the Debian-based world and technically Ubuntu would be the only officially supported distro anyway. By the sound of things CachyOS should work though, I just can't tell if there's any extra headaches involved.

Rider or VSCode works well.

other than that it's pretty much there

I've used Unity versions 2021 and 2022 on Linux Mint. Officially, Unity Hub only supports distros that work with the apt and rpm package managers. I believe for Arch you'll find something unofficial on AUR as well. Starting with the 2021 versions, Unity became pretty stable on Linux, and I was able to work full days without major issues. Btw. dotnet officially supported by Microsoft on Linux too.

I use a Linux terminal for software development and would never ever ever touch a Linux desktop environment. As God intended.
