PayPalIt has arrived folks! After an announcement back in July about their plans for it, the Unity editor for Linux is now available in an experimental build, and I can't wait to see what Linux developers do with it.
They note that with it being experimental, future support is "not yet guaranteed". It depends on user adoption of the Linux editor and feedback to see if it's something they will continue with along side their Mac and Windows builds.
This new experimental Linux editor is based upon Unity 5.1.0f3 and it can export to the following platforms:
- Linux, Mac, Windows Standalone
- WebGL
- WebPlayer
- Android
- Tizen
- SamsungTV
See their official announcement here. They have a new section open on their forum for feedback too.
It's really fantastic to see them deliver on this, and I do hope it's worthwhile for them and for Linux game developers. Who knows, maybe more developers that use Linux will look to Unity now.

Vulkan will almost certainly be supported, once there is a Vulkan to support. ;-)

They said not. But maybe the position has changed ?

They never said they wouldn't, but it will come later. The API hasn't even been released yet, can't expect them to support it.
Quoting: mr-eggWho is "they"? I think it might have been me doing a one sentence remark during siggraph talk, that some sites picket up. All I said was "we aren't actively doing Vulkan just yet, but keeping a close eye on it". All this means is that serious, actual coding did not start yet (nothing more, nothing less).Quoting: TakVulkan will almost certainly be supported, once there is a Vulkan to support. ;-)They said not.

Yus! And I have given them feedback on issues/findings. In general it works well, except a few crashes and UI goofiness in places. They are aware of some of these, but I trust my fellow Linuxers will continue to submit useful constructive feedback/bug reports.
