Hey guys I want to target Linux, but I’m unsure which distro I should target. I have Ubuntu(Which is my favorite Distro), but the problem is how do I test my developer build? I am using Windows to develop my game, I have made some progress with my game(Like adding physics and platform controls). So my base question is: Which Linux Distro should I upload my game to its App Store?
You cannot really target a specific Linux distribution. Unity exports a Linux build, and thats basically it with your influence. It may or may not work for the users. So you should definitely look for a way to test it. Some of my users reported really weird behaviours with the linux build, like totally exploded geometry. As for testing, im in the same situation like you. I dont have Linux installed. So i cannot test it neither. But im in alphastage with my project, so no pressure for me to install Linux yet.
Okay I have an idea, maybe I can build my project then upload it to Google Drive. Then I can download my build and maybe try to find a way to run the build in Ubuntu?
You can test with VirtualBox. It’s far more convenient than installing “for real”; just keep in mind there’s a performance hit with virtualization so it won’t run at 100% full speed.
