Unity said that it has provided an experimental Unity editor for Linux users for years, but found that more and more developers are using it, and with Unity users in Film and Automotive, Transportation, and Manufacturing. As the demand for the industry continues to grow, there is an urgent need for a formal Linux version of Unity. So now the Unity Editor for Linux is officially launched, and the plan fully supports Unity 2019.3.
This version of support includes all Personal, Plus, and Professional editions after Unity 2019.1, and currently supports the following environments:
- Ubuntu 16.04, 18.04
- CentOS 7
- x86-64 architecture
- Gnome desktop environment running on top of the X11 windowing system
- Nvidia official proprietary graphics driver and AMD Mesa graphics driver
- Desktop form factors, running on device/hardware without emulation or compatibility layer
