🎮 Unity Hub & VRChat Creator Instructions

Unity 2022 is currently broken and will not allow login with some installs. To work around this:

1. Run the launcher to open Unity Hub (installed via Flatpak).

2. Log in to Unity Hub.

3. Go to Unity Archive and manually install:

   • Unity 2022.3.22f1

4. Once installed, close the launcher.

5. Run the launcher again.

6. In ALCOM's Settings, add the Unity install path:

   /home/yourname/Program Files/unity/hub/editor/2022.3.22f1/editor
   

7. If it asks for an executable, choose the file named Unity inside the above folder.

8. You should now be good to go!

✅ Tip: Occasionally open the launcher to keep Unity login tokens up to date.

☕ Support & Notes

• Unity Hub is a Flatpak due to login issues in native/other versions.
• All other tools install natively or via AUR where possible.
• Snap is only used where absolutely necessary (Discord).

You're now VR-ready on Manjaro. Happy creating! 🚀
