My laptop doesn't display some exotic languages. When I visit Wikipedia's page, I cannot see all the available languages. How do I get to see them all? When I used to have Windows, I could see all of them. Do I have to install them using the repository? I can't find any information on how to

Err, wrt cussing I think you've skipped reading the Community Guidelines (link at the top). Some Toshibas have an anti-feature where the BIOS locks you to a specific WiFi card, so he might need USB WiFi for which there are some FSF Respects Your Freedom devices available from two suppliers

ZDoom is under the original Doom license, which is proprietary in the first-place (it only allows non-commercial distribution). Some other Doom source ports are also under this proprietary license, so watch out for them. As far as I know, Odamex is the best you can do for ZDoom

Damn it, zdoom is proprietary, I've checked what you've said onpon4. I've found out that zandronum is open-source under the Sleepycat license and it is based on zdoom and should work with most wads, the only problem is the sound: you can compile it with the non-sound option to avoid fmod.

Zandronum isn't entirely under the Sleepycat license. Only new code developed for Zandronum is under that license. Parts from ZDoom would be under the Doom Source License still.
