Nevat asks:Quoting:1. When you say “Linux”… what distributions are supported ? Only Ubuntu? Na'Tosha Bard replies: Quoting:@Nevat: And that title, again, reads "Na’Tosha and Levi tell us why Unity3D is supporting Linux". Well, I keep forgetting that to some people, only Ubuntu qualifies as being "Linux". |

*sigh* Yeah, that's still common for a lot of stuff I read. I don't like Ubuntu and I really don't think they are the best distro for much of anything. Until they can fix bugs within a release cycle and keep the regressions and issues down to a level seen in some other distros I could name then the whole Ubuntu = Linux thing will remain an anathema to me. |

Well, one of their goals is to provide their customers access to the Humble Indie Bundles, and I doubt Humble would allow Ubuntu-only binaries. Also, it's just a development platform. The developers using Unity3D to create content can still package the resulting binaries in any way they wish. |

I'm actually out of my depth here, but I can't help getting the impression that this is a classic example of using the wrong tools for the right job. |

Bernard - Unity3D is a very slick piece of software with a big community of developers. It's also a develop once / deploy many places type thing, making it very convenient for small game developers who want to reach as many customers as possible. . |
