Hot tip for linux, if you have steam you can add the windows downloadable exe to your library as a non-steam game and run it with steam's compatibility tool Proton.
[Right click in steam library] -> [Properties] -> [Compatibility] -> [Check Force use of specific steam play compatibility tool]
This method works for just about every game I've tried on itch, except for RPG Maker games iunno what is wrong with them XD
