Took me a little while to figure out where to put the .ipk3 file (easiest is ~/.config/gzdoom) but otherwise easy enough to get going using the flatpak version of GZDoom. Installing the regular gamefiles + spear of destiny (from my GOG version) was also pretty easy, but I wonder where one can get Return to Danger and Ultimate Challenge 🤔

Either way, good shout, plays excellently, although seems like hitting enemies is harder in this version than the original, at least when they’re far away.

It is nice to have guard rails like a GUI until you grasp the possibilities, that’s how I’ve learned historically coming from DOS and Windows at least, but you can still mess things up plenty with this tool.

I switched to linux a little over a year ago and went with MX Linux because they have great GUI tools for windows refugees like myself, and because they don’t like systemd over there they use cron jobs. Now, having switched to Nobara I’ve just installed both SystemD Pilot here, but also found KCron, a KDE Cron configuration module which allows for the same functionality as what I’m used to.
If I just want to setup a “when system starts” daemon, is there really any difference in using one over the other? I guess it’s possible to shut down services more gracefully?

In any case, great job on this utility.

That’s not a bad shout at all. It does hide æøå on weird keys though, would take a lot of practice to get used to that, but I’ll definitely put that layout into the layout rotation, thanks for the suggestion.

The alt gr + ß is probably the same for nordic keyboards, the one below A. It’s <>\ for me, but afaik both < and > are also individual keys on a US keyboard. And then there’s ~. But I guess you get used to dead keys.

Shift+7 feels wrong for some reason, so I currently tend to just send my pinky on a kamikaze mission towards the numpad hoping I hit /. Sometimes I hit numlock, sometimes I hit *.
Even if I made a compose key “shortcut” via ~/.XCompose it’d still be more work than what I’m doing already.

Macro pad could be a solution, I have considered it beforehand for other purposes tbh

If you know what a nordic keyboard layout looks like, you’d probably prefer backslash. Since I moved to Linux a year ago I’ve been struggling to find the easiest way to forward slash. Shift + 7? Or numpad / with my right pinky?

Like @[email protected] said, there’s a flatpak PS4 emulator that makes it trivial to apply the patch, as demonstrated here.
