these games all have linux installers, but they give the message

This game does not support linux! Would you like to download the windows version to run under wine? [Y/n]

On the webpage these games list OSX and Linux installers as unsupported extras

Thanks to @MajorDangerNine for discovering this

Because these aren't actually shown as being game 'installers', there's really no way for me to automatically know that these are Linux installers. You can download them through the extras subcommand, though. These effectively are the same as wallpapers or soundtracks in the API. I could manually create an exception list that downloads these extras instead for only those games, but that seems kinda kludgy.

What if you do check for extras, and see if there there are any gog_*.sh files?

Without actually attempting a request to fetch one of the extras, I can't see the full filename. Having to make a full GOG request for every extra a game has would slow down the download process quite a bit.
