@clive exploring doom mods via #gzdoom and #zandronum... once you delve into the collection you have all available freely, you just wanna try more

I have just over 20 Linux-capable games in Steam and whenever I get the chance I just play #Doom. On the weekends, when I can use my Linux laptop unencumbered, I've been playing "The Plutonum Experiment" via #Zandronum (http://simp.ly/p/HSxBmW) with #BrutalDoom (https://www.moddb.com/mods/brutal-doom) add-ons.

Quick guide to which #Doom engines to choose depending on your gaming tastes:

- Classic gameplay, just like '93 (horizontal movement, no jumping, no crosshair)? -> #chocolatedoom
- Enhanced gameplay, looking like modern FPSes (jump, crouch, gravity, full mouselook)? -> #zdoom (and it's recent fork #gzdoom)
- Same, but with a focus on multiplayer instead (bots or people)? -> #zandronum

Now combine it with your favorite WAD (FreeDOOM good, but many more available out there) and frag away!

Cool! In case y'all on #Debian wanna play #Doom with some of the more modern engines, here's the link for the repo that the DRD team maintains for it:

https://debian.drdteam.org/

It contains packages for #gzdoom, #odamex and even the bleeding edge #zandronum.

It's not the most straightforward thing to set WADs to play, so here's a guide I wrote (for FreeBSD, but should work too):

Happy fragging!

So yeah, got the #Pi Zero 2W, using it as a nfs file server right now. Running great and the performance enhancements are wonderful.

Also setup #opensuse tumbleweed, and trying out #fedora kinoite on another machine. At first I was skeptical of using so many flatpaks in-place of most regular applications, but it's sold me on it. I still don't believe flatpaks are as good as FreeBSD's jails(Thanks Michael W. Lucas for educating me about them btw), but they're decent enough. I thought I would have lot of trouble with paths, because I remember trying out the #zandronum flatpak for #doom and how you needed to put the WAD files in a specific directory in the flatpak root. So I tried the #emacs flatpak and it ran just fine and saw my normal home directory path. Maybe it's a permissions thing? #justlinuxthings

My first Linux distro was SUSE, so I think I'll be staying with OpenSUSE Tumbleweed until their MicroOS? Whatever version of theirs mirrors Fedora Kinoite gets more stable and can be used as a daily driver.

Què passaria si juntessim dos dels millors shooters de la història com #DoomII i #Blood? Doncs la cosa està en marxa! Per al motor #GZDoom i #Zandronum, naix #BLOOM, del qual hi ha demo jugable disponible.
