    I found this, in the midst of ironforge pr debacle, I thought it was interesting. Especially since unity was resistant to porting unity to rpi. But that link make no mention, or I didn't found it, about installing unity on rpi, that confuse me lol. Anyway I thought this was interesting.

    That's quite odd indeed. You can't neither use the editor nor publish for Linux arm. You can install Windows 10/11 with full blown desktop on a pi 4, but I don't know how compatible with Unity that is.

    You could use WebGL, I guess

    I mean I thought you would have run unity editor on rpi, since the whole point is to be like old computers and allow learning on low cost machine. Not just export to it. Which kind of defeat the rpi mission statement.

    Literally everything in the tutorials shows them working from Windows as a development environment. What likely happened is that Unity paid them and this is just marketing for the engine.

    I'm not sure a modern Unity would be very usable even on a Pi4 due to the super low power CPU.

    Which is kind of odd...i mean, yeah, here's Unity but you can't really use it, so...read the articles!
    Do you know when was it added? Perhaps you found it from a different website that has some sort of a date to reference? I'm curious, because if it's recent, i think it may indicate either Raspberry PI foundations confidence in the future of their platform and Unity or perhaps a Unity release for Raspberry PI.

    Godot's editor is very lightweight and there's even a browser version of it now.
