(Particle system) Color over lifetime not letting me change color

Unity Engine
1

Hi,
I am new to unity, and on linux (Parrot OS Home - debian 10).
I would like to change the color over lifetime for my particle system, but I cannot change the color.
(Note: This is all done in the unity editor, NOT a C# script.)

I:

  • Create a particle system.
  • Enable the color over lifetime in the editor by checking the box
  • Click on the only box there is to click (color)
  • Get a separate window in which I can select alpha values and colors.
    Now the issue is that, once I attempt to change the color, the color choosing windows pops up, and disappears right away, along with the window to manipulate alpha values.

Unity editor is only officialy supported on Ubuntu 16.04, Ubuntu 18.04, and CentOS 7 so that might be some OS specific incompatibility.

Shoot, I was hoping it would work out since Ubuntu is based on Debian…
I will just run a windows VM and use the particle system on that, to then port the .unity scene file to my host and extract the particle system from it.

Unity really needs to get on top of the Linux game, it is a great game engine.
