Having Itch in a Flatpak is even more important now, as Flatpaks on Flathub are the main way to install apps and (non-Steam) games on the Steam Deck.

The above-linked GitHub issue has a lot of interesting discussion, even long after it has been closed.

Meanwhile, there are workarounds (itch.io app on Steam Deck guide, showing off Celeste - YouTube) but they’re inelegant.

Hopefully Itch re-opens the issue and considers an official port to Flathub soon. (Otherwise, an unofficial port would still be very welcome.)
