I can't change from gamma to linear.

At the point where Nick instructs you to switch from Forward to Deferred and from Gamma to Linear, I was able to switch to Deferred, but not to Linear. Can anyone tell me why this is.

What video-card do you have? Is it an old pc or Windows10? Are you in DX11, DX9? What Rendering Path are you using?(player settings -> Other settings ->Rendering-> Rendering Path ) Are you trying to switch it in the correct Settings for PC, Mac & Linux Standalone or you are trying in open gl , android, tizen, web player, etc? Is there a post process effect script attach to the camera that can block you from switching?

I went to check the settings on Unity and it appears that the problem has been resolved, I can now change to Linear color space. When I went onto my project it appeared to be unsaved, the environment object was missing, but the bird was there (I had been looking at prefabs earlier), I must've changed something yesterday while on Unity which made the color space unable to change. Then I forgot to save and ended up back before the problem originated. Sorry for bothering you, I probably should have quit and re-started Unity as soon as I detected the problem.

I believe this is a bug, because I've seen this same behavior reported several times in the Unity 5.x release cycle. I've never had it happen to me, but a lot of times closing Unity and reopening it will fix issues like this.
