Since lutris has gone slop mode I want to find an alternative, but I am yet to find a client that can automatically download, setup and update my itch.io library (the official itch.io software fucking sucks)

    For actually running the games, I’ve been using Heroic. That doesn’t solve the problem of actually downloading them though.

        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?

    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.
