Improve Updates tab?

Most the radio buttons don't show anything, I assume green is the installed version, but I don't get why you don't just have more columns to sort and show versions, like 'Type' to show LTS, Alpha, Beta, and Installed, a column to show when that editor version was last used (with days ago format) or how many projects are set on that version, either by total number or just actual project names listed....

more could be done with it I think.

one reason to not have added extra columns so far is that:
there are about 1500 versions so it might be lots of extra work to fetch & parse that info.. (although it is cached locally)

for unity projects, currently it shows counts only for installed versions,

last used date for editor:
i think that would need additional data store somewhere, in preferences or external file.. (since current method to check last opened project date, is from the project folder modified date.. (editor folder date doesn't change on use i think, and if compare last used dates from project list, if that project is removed, then that editor version doesnt know the date anymore..)

but ill check later what happens if add new columns.

Could have options on the toolbar with search input, other options to filter the list, ie only show lts/release/beta etc, only show editors with projects, only show last 1 year,2,3,4,5 years or all, or only show upto the last editor version that has a project on it.

having the last used date column based on projects using that version and whichever was the last used would be when the editor version was last used so that would work.

Another one maybe for the context menu is a direct shortcut for editor builds, https://discussions.unity.com/tag/6-3/ = 6000.3.12f ,tag/6-3-beta ,/tag/6-3-alpha etc

looking at the screenshot so far its already way more useful and better detailed
