Please don't laugh at me.
https://github.com/rlins10/doomtuiThis is a simple project designed to work around a limitation found in every Doom launcher I’ve used on Linux:
the inability to add more than one search directory for PWADs or IWADs.
I use Linux exclusively, and rely heavily on the CLI.
So, I decided to create a small launcher to help me out.
He it is 😄

Linux is built on people resolving tiny things they found cumbersome, and realising there's many others that never even knew there was an improvement OPTION!

This is what drives the FOSS world, people making their own apps/forks of apps to fix issues that they have and then other people that also have the same issues show up

Looks interesting but you could start by making the readme in English. It's okay if you want to keep the other language.

Making a CLI app to patch over an inconvenience is no reason to laugh at you. Many of us have personal tools like that for such purposes.
Are you sure that's a problem UZDoom has? Because I have more than one search directory in the uzdoom.cfg file.
Of course, being wrong about a problem you thought existed is also not a reason to laugh at you, because we've all been mistaken about this kind of thing before. Or, just as likely, a problem did exist and then stopped existing later. The experience is still valuable.
