Alfae VS itch

Alfae: Supports a limited number of stores and doesn't seem to have support for filtering including tags.

Alfae has integration with itch.io.

For this guide i'm using a tool i made called Alfae. It integrates multiple game stores, but this guide only focuses on Itch.io. Alfae can both install Windows and Linux editions of itch.io games

I use this Launcher for GOG Games on my Deck: https://github.com/suchmememanyskill/Alfae Works perfect for me and adds also the artwork to steam.

This is a pretty generic update to patch some things that didn't work right in the previous release, like for example GOG not working offline. Feel free to submit any issues you find here

https://github.com/suchmememanyskill/Alfae/issues/10 noted. Thanks for the suggestion

Itch has their own app and so I presume they want folks using that instead of rolling their own.

Man, I can't even get the itch client to launch normally anymore. It just quits. This nonsense: here and here.

ITCH.IO: -Install Itch.io launcher: https://itch.io/app (just download and run the installer) -WORKAROUND: Itch.io launcher not working on gaming mode: https://www.reddit.com/r/SteamDeck/comments/ufr30h/itchio_app_in_gaming_mode/ -WORKAROUND: Itch.io doesnt allow you to install Windows games through Wine/Proton: https://www.reddit.com/r/SteamDeck/comments/tynrsh/installing_windows_games_via_the_linux_itchio_app/ -If you still have problems with thr launcher you can download the games from the web browser or use a PWA to download the games ans then manually add them to steam ans use some tool like BoilR, SteamGridDB Decky Plugin or SGDBoop.

Then, depending on the game it may not open unless you move it out of the downloads folder. You might also have better luck using the itch app: https://itch.io/app

Many of the games under the category of “web” on itch io arent mobile or browser friendly. The exceptions are the pico 8 games and the few developers that take the time to make proper browser bindings and use supported webgl. If they dont inherintly make it run with wasm, try this https://itch.io/app

You can download it with https://itch.io/app , then you can resume the download. :3

itch.io does have an official launcher: https://itch.io/app

Itch.io is cool, but I just installed Xubuntu 22.04.1 and now the itch client crashes on launch. That's almost a year old. Just recently I made a comment about how "if itch can make a functional launcher for Linux, so can GOG!" Well. Stupid I have to launch a program from the terminal and not be able to use sandboxing.
