    Use any linux distribution inside your terminal. Enable both backward and forward compatibility with software and freedom to use whatever distribution you’re more comfortable with. Mirror available at: https://gitlab.com/89luca89/distrobox

  • I managed to run it on a non supported distro using [distrobox](https://github.com/89luca89/distrobox) which is a tool that allows you to use any linux distribution inside your terminal using containers. I am runnning Opensuse Tumbleweed but this should work for any other distro supported by Distrobox.

  • That's all for now. I didn't test how unity works because I have no experince with Unity but hopefully this guide is helpful. Also I will write a guide soon about how to install Unreal engine without compiling from source using containers. Spoiler alert: by using Epic Asset Manager [EAM](https://github.com/AchetaGames/Epic-Asset-Manager) which is far more simpler
