There's also a few known issues and workarounds in that thread and details on exactly which Linux distro is supported. Linux is the stable OS of choice for these machines and now they can host Terraria servers to their owner's heart's content. This is the area where it's actually quite an important development, as the vast majority of always-on servers scattered across the world do not run Windows. The announcement post also has links to where you can grab dedicated server tools for the newly supported operating systems. Owning it on Steam will be enough to get you the correct versions. But this week, finally, OSX and Linux players have access to the game. Since then it's had numerous spin-offs and a sequel announced, plus three huge updates that make it almost unrecognisable from that initial product. Terraria first launched in 2011 as an adorable and fun 2D alternative to big boy creative juggernaut Minecraft. Everyone thinks you can just get it out of the way but it's a little more difficult than that when you're actually in the hotseat. Mac and Linux support for indie games is sort of like the rolling spaceship from Prometheus.
