Do later releases (i.e. Unity 2020 Beta) have better Linux support than older LTS releases?

    ..Or are Linux fixes backported and applies to all supported installs? I'm wondering for the case of bug reports, if bugs found on an older install are worth reporting (since it's possible they've been fixed)

    Hi @dginovker. If you are speaking specifically about the editor, in general we *do not* backport fixes as the editor is still in beta. Some fixes do get backported, but generally we avoid it so we can spend our time getting ready for release.

    Makes sense, thank you!

    If I use the latest Beta version, do you care about bug reports, or is your plate full already? If bug reports are cool, is there a place I can read up about making good ones?
