    Can you iterate on what you mean by Linux server?
    Is it web hosting, ran on lunix server. Or is it a virtual machine that is running lunix server.

    If it web hosting, then there is no way. It is a static file-based. At most, you can create MySQL database files to store data.

    If it's a virtual machine however.. Unity can package to Linux. But to run it you need a version of Linux that supports GUI. Otherwise... You can always create a .Net Core app alongside your Unity project. And use the .Net Core app to handle the server tarffic.

    Otherwise, you could use Photon. I would highly recommend seeing as your new to this. And its free for up to 100players. https://www.photonengine.com/en/pun
