What I did today: tried to get Unity version control to run on Linux again. Failed again. Switched to windows and followed a very good tutorial on creating a scrollable list with entries from a script.

This went well: Despite being already tired from fighting with Linux + Unity version control, I finished the tutorial.

The tutorial was really good and the creator understands the UI system. Check out her work on YT: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLg0yr4zozmZV-6qnxKva6p-HzPANltE8C

How to create a UI in Unity

This went not so well: Linux Mint on an external drive does not work with the Unity version control system. I lost a lot of time and energy trying to make it work.

The next step will be to adapt what I learned in the tutorial to my actual inventory and setting up another version control system. Probably git.

I will also at some point check out the whole UI system tutorial series to learn the UI system witchcraft. 🧹

@JohannaMakesGames are you using Unity's implementation of VC? I've never had luck with it even in windows

Git managed to work okay, but tinkering with Large File Storage can be finicky ESPECIALLY with Unity

@imp3tuz yes, I used unity's version up until now, what was called plastic SCM before. It worked quite well so far, but I will have to bite the bullet and find an alternative if I want to get rid of Windows.

I even tried tricking it by installing Unity under Winboat, but it seems that the version control does not like the fact that I run Linux from an external drive.
