    Hi, I have some questions about installing Unity Hub and editor for Linux, especially for headless server.

    First, how to install Unity Hub and editor in headless linux?
    I tried to manually extract AppImage file and run "unityhub" executable file in squashfs-root directory, with "-- --headless help" parameters but not worked. It silently exited.

    Second, Can I test latest 2019.3 beta for linux? In UniteCopenhagen, Unity said that IL2CPP for Linux will be available so I want to test it before it is released.

    Thanks.

    When i tried, x forwarding seemed to work somewhat, but activation didn't work nonetheless. I'd say install a lightweight desktop and vnc just to activate, worked for me.

    Could you elaborate on the x forwarding process? I can start apps like xcalc and xclock on my vps and see the windows on my windows machine. But when running the UnityHub.AppImage it doesn't show a window.
