On WIndows, we're just distributing a regular Windows "portable build"
through Steam, but I can always pop an extra file in there.
I think we can also pass in a CLI argument via the Steamworks web
interface, as I understand it.

For Linux, we can do either of those options or I can set an extra
environment variable in our launcher.sh bash script.

FWIW, I'm not sure I see the issue with advertising our dev fund to users
who have bought Krita on a store. Is it something a significant number
users have been complaining about?
We could add an option to disable the banner in Krita's settings, or we
could just get rid of it altogether if it's something that isn't helping us
raise funds or inform artists about our development model.
