Unity 3D on Linux has come a long way since I first encountered it. Originally it was a .deb or .sh install. I had to track down dependencies etc. I was behind in versions so my fellow developers' projects gave me grief when I tried to open them.
Now the thread of releases is pretty active. It has a download assistant. The assistant is a an executable binary that is essentially an installation wizard. So far Unity works well on Nix... except it likes to steal control of my keyboard input. This first manifested itself when I entered game play mode and couldn't free my mouse. I had to forcibly shut down my laptop with the power button. I thought it was just in game play until I tried renaming one of the folders in my project. I'm not yet sure exactly what action in Unity is snagging the keyboard or exactly how to regain access to keyboard input. Clicking around Unity, I am able to get my input back.
Now that I am able to get my keyboard back, I am no longer blocked.
