Quote And with the Linux Editor now in experimental build and also slated to launch in 5.6, dropping the 32-bit editor frees up time and resources that will help us to make this exciting new offering a success.

: Unity updated the blog post to say it won't, sadly it was poor wording on their part.The Linux editor of Unity has been in beta for quite a while, over a year in fact, so it's really pleasing to see it getting bumped up to an official status.Writing in this blog post on the official Unity site, the developers explained that they are dropping 32bit Windows support. This will free up time for the Linux editor, which they call an " exciting new offering". I do love that wording:I hope this will help more developers do more on Linux directly. Being able to fix bugs in a Linux build of a game, directly on Linux, now that's going to be useful I hope.Who knows, maybe it's what a few developers have been waiting for to switch over to Linux. I can dream right?I'm not surprised they are dropping 32bit support anyway, even on Linux 32bit use is very low. With our last survey we counted 2/1174 people using 32bit.Great stuff, Unity team!
