Dusk: Unpopular opinion: I'd rather pay Valve 30% and put up with their de facto monopoly than help Epic work towards their own (very obviously desired) monopoly

Itch and GOG have decent linux support

No they don't lol. GOG doesn't even have a client, you have to use Lutris or Heroic Launcher that support it.

Itch has a half implemented Linux client that they gave up years ago and is straight up unusable/broken. The client is worse then a web wrapper and nas no support for Wine, so if the game doesn't have native Linux support, it just won't run through the client. It will download exe's that won't actually run and silently fail, and doesn't have any wine support.

They don't have a client but both allow you to just download the game and run it from a .sh that installs it in the local folder. That's enough for me but I agree it may not be for everyone.
