What version do I use for the tutorial? Sorry I’m new and the other posts I see are years old. I just want to be doing whatever is most up to date but also works. I usually like to follow along as apposed to just watch videos because it helps me retain the information better. Thanks
Ideally use the same version as the tutorial, though also look for recent tutorials.

Unity 6 introduces the foundation for the next generation, so releases between 6.0 and 7.0 (previously referred to as 6.8) are expected to maintain a high level of compatibility.

Also the 6000.0.0 versioning is to ensure the version number is greater than when it was based on the year of release (eg, 2022.0.0, etc).
