m (Added the missing reference. Also as a side note: Hand to God, I tried <pre> before and it didn't work. No idea what I did wrong. Maybe cause I was trying it with <nowiki> too? idk. Thanks for cleaning it up and making it more presentable though.)
(Add itch.io availability and unavailability in other stores.)

Issues fixed

Not Launching In Linux[3]
FarSky claims to require a Java Runtime Environment(JRE) of 1.6. However, installing 1.8 has shown to be just as effective.
FarSky has also shown itself to not work with some newer JRE versions. So you may find yourself installing several different older versions before you can find one that works.
The following may differ depending on your Linux distribution and what version of JRE you want to try. So these commands are more of a guideline than a future-proof solution.
  1. Open a terminal and type: sudo apt-get install openjdk-8-jre
  2. Run FarSky from Steam
  3. Click "Options"
  4. Set the value for "Change Java Path" to: /usr/lib/jvm/java-8-openjdk-amd64/bin/java
  5. Click OK, then Play

If it immediately exits without running the game, then either you will need to try a different version of Java or the path you gave it was invalid.

If you need help finding a valid path, then open a terminal and type: find / -iname *java*jdk* 2>/dev/null That will help guide you to finding a valid path.

If the game runs, then it was a success. To make the change permanent, follow the instructions above for Skipping The Launcher, but change the third line from XMODIFIERS= java \ to XMODIFIERS=/usr/lib/jvm/java-8-openjdk-amd64/bin/java \ or whatever value you gave it for "Change Java Path".
