Many of you that have been following TM from the beginning will know that TM was mean't to also release on Linux (it was built on Linux) but issues came up that prevented that from happening, however I have been thinking since the release of the Windows version of how to overcome some of the issues that were faced to resurrect the Linux version, and that has finally happened, we do have a few sacrifices that some may or may not miss but the most important thing here is it works, a fully functional Linux version is working on Debian OS and Ubuntu OS.
The Linux version is fully up to date (Ver 1.3) with the Windows version and includes all the same unlockables the only things that are different is that there will be no cloud saves for the Linux version and we cannot launch with the Steam play button, (well it's possible but it opens in the same terminal Steam is using and shows Steam's processes inside TM which is not what we want) instead to avoid this issue TM can be launched directly from the Steam install directory even without Steam running.
You can also modify TM's desktop shortcut parameters to launch direct from the desktop so for example on Debian XFCE:
1. Right click on the Desktop shortcut/properties
2. Launcher tab
3. Click Run in terminal box
4. In the Command box clear the steam command and put: ./termlin.sh
5. Put the Steam install path in the Working Directory box
Launching from the desktop now should be possible, steps may be different for Ubuntu and Debian if they use a different desktop environment, but launching directly from the install directory by double clicking (or right clicking and running in terminal) will work, of course it is also possible to cd in the terminal (or typing ./ followed by path and executable) to TM and typing ./termlin.sh
If you have started on Windows and want to continue on Linux your windows save file will also work with TM Linux, just copy your tm.sav file over to your Steam install TM location on Linux.
TM on Linux is finally here :)
