For as long as I can remember I’ve always had to explicitly browse to my project in Linux. Unlike in my OSX and Windows machines, my Linux build never shows my recent projects. Is there a setting I need to put in?

All I had to do was add the directory to the UE4Games.uprojectdirs file. FYI, this file does not resolve “~” shorthand.

See my own answer to the question below. Just need to add the desired path to the UE4Games.uprojectdirs file. Must be explicit, no relative paths or tilde as far as I can tell.
