Itch has their own launcher that supports Linux. Should be on their download client page.
I've never used it, but:
https://github.com/Vidi0/scratch-io
Says that it's a Rust-based command-line client, which is probably the sort of thing that I'd use myself, if I were on the hunt for a client, sorta analogous to lgogdownloader for GOG.
Note that it says:
Due to how the itch.io API works, it is not possible to update a game in-place. To update a game, you must remove it and install it again.
Why not use the official app? https://itch.io/app
He says that he doesn't like the official software.
Yes, and I ask why he does not like and use it. What's the issue with it? Would be good to know for myself. Plus, if we know whats the issue with the official software, we can make better recommendations.
I know it's unrelated to the original question, but.. What are the issues with the original software? Am I missing out on something if I keep using it?
Lutris's gone slop?
The Dev unapologetically uses LLMs during development. For some, that's some sort of ideological line they refuse to cross.
Myself, I'm gonna keep using it as long as it works. All the games I load into it are pirated anyway.
Everything is a religion now. Apparently people need that. Sad state we are in as a society if we have to pick such battles and fight each other instead of dealing with the real socio economic issues.
Forget LLM code, the developer purposefully removed code crediting to Claude so that users don’t know which code is human and which is LLM generated
Aside from LLM code that’s just shit transparency
lutris stilll works.
