Although it is buggy, I use the Linux editor regularly. :)

Related pet peeve: The Linux editor appends "Linux" to the project version, forcing a complete reimport of all the assets when moving between the Linux and Windows editors even if they're actually at the same version.

I knew they had experimented with it, but I couldn't find an up to date version. I just assumed they had abandoned it.

FYI, the latest Linux editor is always linked-to from the last post in this thread:

https://forum.unity3d.com/threads/unity-on-linux-release-not...

Why they do this in a forum thread instead of having a link on the normal download page, I cannot imagine. It's no wonder you couldn't find it! :)

If you're on Arch there are AUR packages that are regularly kept up to date.
