    Looks like it tries to open the .sh file with gedit - that's probably not what you want. It takes ages to show the content, since the script contains the editor as a binary blob.

    What you want is running the script from the command line:

    Code (CSharp):
    1. cd /home/your_username/Downloads
    2. chmod +x Unity-(autocomplete with tab)
    3. ./Unity-(autocomplete with tab)
    Another method would be marking the file as an executable in right click -> properties, but not every file browser does that. If it is marked as an executable, your system should no longer open it as a text file.

    Also please be aware that you installed a 32-bit version of Zorin OS, but the Editor is for 64-bit operating systems. This could cause issues and the installation may fail completely. Is there a specific reason you installed the 32 bit version? Usually that's not necessary.
