The Linux version of DoomRL comes with launchers for 3 popular terminal emulators (xterm, gnome-terminal and konsole). However, I happen to like none of those, so I made my own for Alacritty, my terminal emulator of choice, which is hardware-accelerated and highly customizable. I made it so that it resembles DoomRL as I remember it (on Windows) as closely as possible. Perhaps this is interesting for others, so I wanted to share it...
Aside from Alacritty, you'll just need to have the Fixedsys Excelsior font installed. Then put the following files (the launcher and the according config file, respectively) in the DoomRL directory:
doomrl_alacritty
#!/bin/sh
set -eu
/usr/bin/alacritty --config-file ./doomrl_alacritty.yml -e ./doomrl -console
doomrl_alacritty.yml
