Doom Runner for Linux
Preset-oriented graphical launcher of various ported Doom engines (an alternative to ZDL)
Overview
Doom Runner is a graphical launcher made for Linux users who play the game Doom.
It helps you start different Doom source ports like GZDoom, Zandronum, and PrBoom using an easy-to-use interface.
This tool is built with C++ and Qt, and it makes managing your Doom game setups simpler.
One main feature of Doom Runner is its support for presets.
These presets store settings for multi-file game modifications, such as Brutal Doom with mutators or Project Brutality with UDV.
This means you can switch between different game mods quickly without doing the same setup steps over and over again.
If you use different Doom engines or mods often, Doom Runner can save you time by letting you launch them with just one click.
Because Doom Runner is made for Linux, it works well on that platform but might not be available for Windows or Mac.
It is an alternative to other launchers like ZDL, offering a similar purpose but using a graphic interface centered on presets.
However, the information on whether you can create custom presets or user-made setups is not clear.
Overall, Doom Runner is useful for Linux gamers who want a safe and simple way to organize and launch many Doom engine configurations and mods without extra hassle.
Its preset system helps reduce repetitive work, making it easier to enjoy different versions of the classic first-person shooter.
