    The nice things about Mint is the ppa system that allows updates to happen to the repository and updated with the Update Manager. Will you at add a ppa for the Unity Editor? Be nice to get updates automatically instead of having to download them manually.

    They probably will once Unity Editor for Linux matures enough. :) For now, since it's experimental... you get the idea. :D

    EDIT: Just re-read your post, in that case, that would be useful. I don't mind re-downloading though, I find manual anything more reliable in my case!

    Having to re-download the new editor, un-install it, and then install the new one is a hassle, and, quite frankly, could be done better.

    Potentially, a lot of decisions in this direction have yet to be made.

    I would assume whether or not a Linux editor is even worth maintaining.
