I only play a couple games now and then, but Itch.io is a really cool platform for digital publishing. On Linux, your typical options are 1. make a package for each distro's package manager and offer it on your site, or use your language's package manager. On Windows, your only real option is to provide a zip file or installer exe and hope people update every once in a while. Chocolately is unfortunately clunky and hyper-niche. With Itch you get cross platform distribution with auto updates, a simple forum, and a payment system. Unlike Steam which is locked down and has an approval process, you can just sign up and upload your stuff to Itch. A lot of it is open source too. The only real complaint I have about Itch are a lot of the ecosystem is built up around games so if you upload an office application it might turn away some potential users, and there's no support for other languages in the UI currently (apparently this is being added though).
