Check out Luxtorpedia. It'll run supported games with native Linux engine ports.
-
Unofficial port of Half-Life 2 mod "Entropy : Zero 2" available
Can you tell the people in charge of Luxtorpeda about this? That'd be really helpful.

Tip for Linux users: How to integrate OpenMW with a Steam installation of Morrowind
the way to get Steam to use OpenMW and other available open source engines is to set up luxtorpeda
-
Where does Luxtorpeda install OpenMW?
I did find the install finally, but that's a good idea. Luxtorpeda is kind of an alternative to getting several Steam games running using native Linux engines, I think via Docker: https://github.com/dreamer/luxtorpeda

Generously Gloved Gentlemen - 1 Day Discussion Thread, April 27th
Itch has their own app and so I presume they want folks using that instead of rolling their own.

PSA: the official itch.io client bundles a very outdated version of electron and has security risks
Man, I can't even get the itch client to launch normally anymore. It just quits. This nonsense: here and here.
-
Just happy as it is
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.

The application 'X' can't be opened
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

Playing web games in android?
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

any alternative link for InvokeAI
You can download it with https://itch.io/app , then you can resume the download. :3

How do I *actually* make my .exe file distributable?

Where are some good places to find out about games besides Steam & GOG?
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.
