I can't remember what the software was but I once ran across an open source project on GitHub that you could download there or at the bottom of the docs there was a link to steam basically saying "if you don't want to mess with GitHub you can download it from steam like you would a game or other software"

The Steam version was priced at $3 and had lots of positive reviews.

I think you're talking about Krita [1] perhaps

IIRC, Ardour (DAW software) is or maybe was like this. You can download and build the source but there's a cost to download binaries.

Borderless gaming, perhaps?
