This is no good. Flat out, this is just no good at all:
Making us click to access the download archive on another site is no good either as it adds a needless step, especially if you want to do things like test the DOTS visual scripting drops or need to go back to a version in case of regressions when all these things could be handled in the Hub itself. I have a pretty simple proposal: a drop down menu and also a search feature.
This is a pretty garbage mockup because I’m not about to go through a whole UX process before I’ve even had a chance to shower. We should be able to access all these things from the Hub and there are plenty of ways to make that possible. Being able to type “2017.3.12” into a search is fast and easy.

I want to second this after working with multiple people on a new project that aren’t very tech savvy.
The Hub should have all previous versions available (within reason ofc), it’s even more limited now than it is in these 7 month old screenshots.
The purpose of the Hub is ease of use, this is frankly opposite and makes you wonder what the purpose of the hub even is.
The Projects tab is great though, kudos on that!
Open the Release Notes page for the version you want via Download Archive or Unity Editor Beta Releases and find “Install this version with Unity Hub” at the top of the page and click the link. This will start the installation of this version via Unity Hub. Or you can use something like GitHub - dmbond/CheckVersion: Checks for Unity3D updates
