Whatever solution I wind up with, I think I'm going to be delivering one of several options to Linux people. Here's what I would need from GOG to pull this off adequately:
1) Proper messaging on the store page, so Linux users are sufficiently informed before they click "buy" and get surprised
2) Some way to deliver obvious, informed choices in the download/installer. I imagine a little screen that pops up and shows a few icons with explanations of each solution and then lets them pick one and click "next", but I suppose just a .zip or .tar.gz file containing two folders (with an install script in each) and an informative README at the top level (and in each folder) could do just as fine.
I can't really comment on number 2 as like I said before, still too early regarding Linux.
As for number 1 I can point you towards Rogue Legacy and its controller notice on the bottom just after the overview of the game. We can put in there something like "Linux notice: Defender's Quest uses Adobe AIR on Linux as of this time." or something to that effect.
