Hello! I have currently found a way as of 2024 to download Unity hub 3.10.0 and the 2022.3.54f1 Unity Editor.

I am currently using Arch Linux + KDE Plasma

What you want to do first is go to this website and download the 3rd link which will be the unity hub for Linux.
https://discussions.unity.com/t/unity-hub-v2-0-0-release/743151

Then after that install FUSE 2 which will allow you to open the app-image file, Make sure to use the Arch Linux Wiki and package to learn how to do so!

https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Main_page
https://archlinux.org/packages/

The command to do so is

sudo pacman -S fuse2

you can see if it installed correctly by finding the version of it like so

pacman -Q fuse2

once that is installed then you can open the app-image file which will be the unity hub file then when in the hub just install the editor like usual.

once done you should have both the unity editor and the unity hub!

After that, you will need some type of IDE, of which you can install VScode, you would use yay for this. To install yay do the following order after completion

sudo pacman -S git
git clone https://aur.archlinux.org/yay.git
cd yay
makepkg -si

and you should have yay installed!
Now you can install VSC with ease with this simple command

yay -S visual-studio-code-bin

and just press N 2 times to decline Clean-build and diffs to show and follow the rest of the installation by pressing Y or N if needed (you would want to press Y to accept) then that would be it!

All you have to do after that is open up VSC and configure it you would usually (make sure to check the #854851968446365696 section and scroll down to IDE configuration)
You will need the .Net SDK which you can install via pacman like so

sudo pacman -S dotnet-sdk

If successfully installed you can do dotnet --list-sdks to see the SDK, once installed just restart vs-code and you should be golden!

Have fun programming!

All of the commands shown are to be done in the console BTW

It definitely was hard for me to download unity, especially because it is not supported on arch, So I am just giving out a tutorial on how to install unity and configure VSC
