# Linux

> Includes information about developing Unity applications on the Linux desktop platform that includes settings available in the Unity Editor for Linux platform, Linux Player build binaries, and troubleshooting.

Unity provides support for developing applications on Linux. You can build your application as a standalone executable and run it on Linux systems that support the same architecture that Unity supports. You can also build your application as a library and use it as a plug-in in other applications.
