    Recently there have been a large number of threads by brand new Unity users who are trying to learn Unity on 2019.3.0a. When I'm writing this 2019.3 is in alpha.

    Example:
    https://forum.unity.com/threads/tutorials-wont-run.689815/

    Unity Hub should make it more obvious these are alphas or betas, unfinished software, the user is installing at minimum. I'd also suggest Unity Hub should not display alpha and beta releases to new Unity users unless they take additional steps. I'd suggest some kind of preferences check box before even displaying them. Currently new Unity users are often seeing alpha releases as the latest final release and running into problems not unexpected for alpha quality releases.
