Installing Gzdoom on Linux allows playing Hexen format maps and cool mods on Linux. Installing via Snap was not appealing to me so I downloaded the deb package from the website instead.

Then I could install the deb package and I was ready to play Gzdoom.

Create a new folder on Ubuntu and put all of your Doom wad files in it, they will be autodetected when you run Gzdoom and you may choose which one to play.
I got crashes when I was trying to play Gzdoom on Ubuntu, but I changed the MIDI device to OPL Synth Emulation in Sound Options and this fixed the problem. But this seems to run much faster on Linux than Windows, and it is impressive being able to play Russian Overkill on Linux.
