    So I noticed that there are just few modules for Unity in Linux.

    Eg. In windows you can add Linux Build Support, while you cannot do it on Linux...

    That's... doesn't make much sense o_O

    Did any1 here tried to build on Linux for Linux?

    Hi,

    I've only installed it today but on this install the target platform for a build is already set to linux. The drop down gives the option of linux and windows.

    Using 2019.1.5f1 here if that helps.

    Sorry I misunderstood,

    Didn't mean that menu. It is already installed by default so doesn't show on the list. The menu I mean is the build settings. You have a choice to switch between Linux and windows builds there. it's default is linux.

    Yeah I just noticed that, the Target Platform in Build Settings is Linux. So I guess everything is fine haha. I just always developed on Android so I assumed I need a module for that. But I guess I dont. Owesome-o!

    while I use Linux I would say unless you are using Linux or know a few people who do I wouldn't export for Linux since not a lot of people are using Linux to do gaming and they use it because their computer cant handle windows anymore or they code so the answer is yes and no just do what ya feel like

    Is there a way to download the Linux Module separately?
    My current Unity Version isn't integrated with Unity Hub.

    Nevermind, found it.

    For anyone wandering, here's how to do it:
    https://unity3d.com/get-unity/download/archive
    Find your specific version, click on "Release Notes" then you can choose anything you want under "Additional Downloads"

    Happy game dev'ing
