gzdoom VS nonguix

GZDoom v4.11.3 serves us as a landing area. GZDoom is one of the most popular ports of the original DOOM game. And the PVS-Studio static analyzer is our assistant.

if you do use ZDL there is a linux version over here i think that needs you to use this standalone/portable gzdoom rather than the flatpak or ZDL cant find gzdoom to launch properly.

The github release page say there is a .deb so gzdoom can definitely run on Linux, and therefore Linux mint : https://github.com/ZDoom/gzdoom/releases

To get it running on MacOS: - Download GZDoom for MacOS and double-click to extract to folder ./GZDoom.app - Google search for and download DOOM2.WAD - Right click on GZDoom app, select 'show package contents', move DOOM2.WAD to ./GZDoom.app/Contents/MacOS - Download Brutal Wolfenstein 3D, extract file ZMC-BW6.0.pk3 and move it to ./GZDoom.app folder - Drag ZMC-BW6.0.pk3 on top of GZDoom app to play, if it prompts with a list select 'Doom 2: Hell on Earth (DOOM2)' and OpenGL renderer

1) Install Linux and set it up 2) Go to zdoom.org and go to download 3) Download the Ubuntu version of ZDoom, not GZDoom 4) Click the .deb file that you have installed 5) Get an IWAD of FreeDoom or buy a copy of Doom and use that IWAD (i'll get into that later) 6) Go to your zdoom folder 7) Drag the IWAD you have installed to the folder

Just say I wanted to compile this... I have no idea where to start, apart from it being the .tar.gz file. https://github.com/ZDoom/gzdoom/releases/tag/g4.10.0

go fucking play doom zdoom.org

Their software freedom policy seems to be similar to Debian. All free by default, allow separate nonfree addon. In the case of Guix you can find that here: https://gitlab.com/nonguix/nonguix .

The GUIX community has a non-free package repo, you just add it as a GUIX channel and problem solved:

Yes, being a GNU project Guix has a strict free software only policy. The biggest channel (repo) with proprietary stuff for Guix is called nonguix. It has the vanilla kernel, Nvidia drivers and a number of other proprietary packages including Steam, Chrome and the like. I don't know what the state of ZFS on Guix is though as I don't care for it myself, but I can see why its inclusion would be questioned with regards to licensing.

Since Guix is a GNU project, it doesn't support proprietary software (Steam, Discord, Zoom...). Third-party repos are available for it.

There's a git lab repo for non-free/libre software that you can add as a channel when installing. I used the following guide that shows you how to do this.

I'm trying to enable substitues for nonguix. I added the code snippet from the nonguix website to my system.scm file per the instructions. When I try to reconfigure I get the following error:
