Linux Publishing with Unity 4
summary
Unity 4 (runtime added in 4.2) exports Linux desktop players from the Build Settings with x86 / x86_64 / universal option (one folder with both binaries), requires a C++ runtime and hardware-accelerated OpenGL, and adds a headless mode for server builds and webcam support. Officially tested on Ubuntu 10.10+, distribution paths include Steam (about 2% of Steam users were on Linux in early 2013), Ubuntu Software Center, Desura and Humble Bundle, and Canonical offers free packaging; expect better performance once AMD/NVIDIA/Intel drivers are used.
