Also, changing the keyboard layout software-side doesn't work (either for the Linux version or for the Windows version running on Linux via Wine). It just assumes I'm still using Dvorak, which means trying to play with WASD is like a QWERTY user trying to play with ,A;H. Using the arrow keys is just way more awkward since most of the rest of the keys are centered around the WASD area (would be the ,AOE area on Dvorak), and I'd ideally like to keep my right hand open for reasons that should be obvious. I might eventually try and figure out some way to simulate a gamepad (I'm sure some clever bastard somewhere has done it before) so I can use the keys I want that way, but it's just too much work for right now.

Note for Linux users (at least for Manjaro with the Plasma desktop environment, not sure about other distros or DEs):
After extracting, you may need to go into the executable's properties to the Permissions tab and check the "Is executable" box. Additionally, your DE/file manager may say something like "For security reasons, launching executables is not allowed in this context." when trying to double-click the executable. If this happens, you'll probably need to run it via a console command (or equivalent, like right-clicking and clicking "Run In Konsole") or create a .desktop file or whatever the equivalent is for your machine (I'm pretty new to Linux myself so I don't really know a whole lot about how things work normally)
