    When i trying to use LINQ requests in Debug console (Immediate) or Watch
    I always get Expression not supported.

    However I tried the simple console c# project (no Unity) and it haven't this problem and any LINQ requests from Watch or Console works fine. It looks like problem related to Unity only.

    The issue detected on Mac in VS Code and Visual Studio for Mac, presumably it could also exists in Visual Studio on Windows and Mono.

    Yeah. The workaround is to refactor whatever you are debugging so that the expression is a variable, because you can reference variables, just not define expressions.

    I just wish Unity will integrate this feature. Because modern systems already support it.
