A couple of x64 questions

[niceundtidy]

I understand that the 64 bit version of KSP is notoriously bugged for windows, and many modders have labeled it as unsupported.

But i do have a few questions that i am having a hard time figuring out.

1. When a mod is "unsupported" by a mod, does that mean it straight up does not work right with x64? Are there things mods need to do different to work on 64bit versions or are they just unsupported because devs are tired of getting bug reports that have nothing to do with them?

I realize this next questions may be null and void depending on the answer to the first but:

2. Is the Ubuntu release of KSP more stable than the windows one? I understand some of the instability may be OS specific?

3. Will these "unsupported" mods work fairly well with the Ubuntu release?

Thank you for what i am sure will be excellent answers

1. A mod being unsupported generally means that you wont get any support from the mod author if you have problems (though some will explicitly disable themselves if you try to use them with the Windows x64 version of KSP). This is usually because the mod author is unable to test the mod with the windows x64 version of KSP because it (KSP) doesn't work well enough, if at all. You should not post about problems in the mod's forum thread or any other support channel that may exist (e.g. github issues etc).

2. The 64 bit Linux version works very well. The instability is in the Windows x64 version of Unity.

3. Yes, virtually all mods will work fine with the Linux x64 version unless they are specifically for Windows only (there are only a very few mods that aren't completely platform neutral).

Thank you. Quick and precise.
