deb is package file with engine, you need to install the package first and only then select the gzdoom

Youda008 commented 3 weeks ago

As summer1090 said. The .deb file is an installation package, something like the .msi on Windows. It's not a program you can immediatelly run. You have to install it first https://askubuntu.com/questions/40779/how-do-i-install-a-deb-file-via-the-command-line then find the installed executable (usually in /usr/bin, /usr/local/bin, ..., you can use which command to find where it is) and add that one into Doom Runner.

hshsh So I did what you told me to do in the terminal but for some reason I can't change the executable. (I'm clicking the folder icon and trying to select the executable file but It just doesn't work)

Also I thought I could fix this problem via reinstalling through linux mint's software manger but now I can't change the theme, Add both the Doom 1 & 2 Iwads and add any map packs.

You need to click Menu -> Initial Setup and edit it there.

Sorry for the late response but everything works now after helping me.

Thanks!
