Yeah, I totally get it, and it’s frustrating as all hell that none of this info is available from the Chromebook itself if someone peels off the sticker on the bottom (and it’s like 3rd hand, so yup).
I’m giving it a shot using the method you mentioned though, and finally found the program you have to install to play *any* Itch.io Linux games, and then proceeded to learn a good chunk of Linux basics over the last 5 hours. I have to figure out how the hell to make Aptitude play ball so I can get the last dependency running, bc the other (better) package manager doesn’t play well with Buster, but I’m getting there! 😂😭
Edit: to be clear, I thought you had to have /play.it *only* and was just running around like “WHY ISN’T IT WORKING????” Thanks for being patient with me lol.
Ah, I didnt know finding system info on Chromebooks was difficult. Searched for it, and installing an app from the Google webstore seems to be simplest way for it: https://support.google.com/chromebook/thread/15471099?hl=en
A good way to setup required dependencies in general for games on Linux is to install wine. If you can tell the CPU architecture, it would be easy to figure out the next steps. https://wiki.debian.org/Wine#Installation_on_Debian_Jessie_and_newer
(x86-64 = 64 bit , x86 = 32 bit)
After basic dependencies are present can install the itch.io linux app as posted earlier.
Good job persevering! For a beginner its a lot to process and understand.
