[Linux] Unity Hub dumps PlaybackEngine files into the HOME directory

I didn’t complain about this before because i thought it was obvious and would get fixed in no time but here we are 1 year later.

UnityHub AppImage*(I don’t know if same problem exists with the other packaging formats)*
OS: Ubuntu based Linux
Version: 3.0.0-beta.6 (i was using Beta in hopes of it getting fixed)

Problem:
When I add a build supports such as Windows/Linux/Mac to an Editor, using the Add Module button, It creates the folder inside Editor/Data/PlaybackEngines but it dumps all of it’s files inside HOME directory. That I have to move it back manually.

Steps:

  • Install UnityHub using AppImage
  • Install the LTS Editor.
  • Go to Installs tab, and add build support for Windows/Linux/Mac using Add Module button.
  • Files ends up in the HOME directory.

Weirdly I didn’t have the same problem while Adding WebGL Module.

I see, well, then they should change the link in download page: Start Your Creative Projects and Download the Unity Hub | Unity
it still downloads the AppImage
