Progress?

Hi linux devs! There hasn’t been any word it seems for a while, hoping Unity didn’t just stop working on the Linux edition! I’m using it to build a Game, and I think a lot of others are too! Hoping there will be more bug fixes and updates soon!

hipnotickid_12 · October 9, 2015, 11:18pm

Agreed. I hope they plan to push another build out.

Hope she’ll get around to it.

All the basic things are already working so well, just a small number of showstoppers left

Good to know that things are moving forward, but Linux editor is still very sluggish when working with large projects ( >5gb). Waiting for that speed improvements )

Integrating the changes from 5.2 has been painful as expected, but also in some additional unexpected ways.

We’re still working toward having a shippable build soon™

Thanks for the update Tak!

Sabun · October 13, 2015, 2:58am

Looking forward to it! Thank you for the hard work on the Linux build

NathanWarden1 · October 13, 2015, 7:33pm

Thanks Tak, sounds awesome!

I really want 5.2 for the new Tanks! project/tutorial by Unity on Youtube…

MrWhoof · October 16, 2015, 1:02pm

We all appreciate all the hard work you guys are putting in.

Keyjin · October 16, 2015, 7:11pm

Awesome! Keep up the AWESOME work :)!

Thanks for the update @Tak . I’m looking forward to getting the latest Unity version up and running. I recently made the switch to Linux (Elementary OS) on my brand new ThinkPad, and Unity is running quite well—it starts up fast! I’m glad to now be able to do most of my work without booting into Windows.

Now if someone could only convince Adobe to port Photoshop to Linux…Gimp still feels so alien.

CyRaid · October 19, 2015, 3:49am

@jwinn , Gimp is outdated… The new thing is “Krita”. It’s a very very well made ‘Photoshop’ style program, and gets updated fairly often as I’ve seen.

jacobgmartin · October 19, 2015, 11:33am

So far my experience has been pretty darn good with the Linux Editor. There are some bugs of course, but things aren’t too bad actually.

Thanks so much for your work on it!

Y’all are really close, so don’t hesitate to update the beta sooner rather than later.

AZeroEight · October 19, 2015, 3:24pm

Is there a time estimation as to when the next build will arrive? It is itching in my fingers

NathanWarden1 · October 19, 2015, 7:06pm

Agreed, Krita is a very nice professional grade program with some essential texturing features that Photoshop doesn’t even have but should have had years ago. Namely, wrap around mode.

CyRaid · October 19, 2015, 7:52pm

Wrap Mode is a HUGE feature, that should have been in Photoshop ages ago (as people have requested)… It’s as simple as pressing “w”, and seeing it tiled, and painting anywhere and you can see how it repeats… So nice!

jwinn · October 20, 2015, 6:59am

Thank you! This is so much better.

t_w · October 20, 2015, 8:40am

Cool, wait tor the 5.2’s new features.
