roberta VS itch-flatpak

You should probably use Protonup-QT to install Roberta, it'll be like a selectable proton version in steam but instead it's using native scummVM. Not sure about cloud saves though unfortunately.

Roberta (Runs the native Linux verison of ScummVM)

But, I can see the logic in starting off as a compatibility layer for Windows designed applications and start out as a simplified product line and go from there, the full on steam machines was a barge in, but Proton and the Steam Deck is more of a foot in the door, not even that, because I think that proverb is still a metaphor of an unwelcome entrance, but I can't think of a welcoming analog. I think it needs to be a transitional thing and instead of game devs targeting windows, I think they should target an ABI abstraction The developers of Zork instead of reprogramming it for every CPU, they just reprogrammed it for an abstraction and ported the abstraction and that's why you can be eaten by a Grue in Call of Duty: Black Ops. Roberta is compatible with too many 80's and 90's games to mention and ScummVM has exceeded the scope of just adventure games. Said abstraction compatibility would also make x86 less relevant.

Have you tried Roberta?

https://github.com/gjpin/itch-flatpak found this, but no easy way to download it tho

u/Cool-Arrival-2617 informed me a while back of a itch flatpak that would probably work via SteamOS and might fix my issue with launching Turnip Boy, but I haven't got around to trying it yet.

Someone started the development of an Itch Flatpak: https://github.com/gjpin/itch-flatpak that would definitely work in gaming mode. He tried to discuss with the Itch developers before submitting it to FlatHub (so that it would appear in the Discover store) but they don't seem to care much: https://github.com/itchio/itch/issues/2793 Hopefully he'll submit it to FlatHub anyway soon.
