- This is a simple method for installing Diablo 1 under Xubuntu 22.04 if you happen to have the original game disc.
First, install devilutionx, either using:
sudo snap install devilutionx
or by finding it in the "software" centre program in the Xubuntu whisker menu.
Second, click on the snap, then devilutionx directory/folders in your Home directory. The path is ~/snap/devilutionx, NOT /snap/devilutionx (which is off the root folder).
Third, put your diablo 1 disc in your optical drive, and copy the diabdat.mpq file to the ~/snap/devilutionx/common directory
Now play Diablo 1 in Xubuntu by finding the devilutionx program in the whisker menu or launching it from a terminal session.

how can I switch to hellfire?
The devilutionx github web site here: github.com/diasurgical/devilutionX suggests that to get hellfire working you need the DIABDAT.MPQ from the Diablo I CD copied to the directory I mention in the video, and then you also need to copy hellfire.mpq, hfmonk.mpq, hfmusic.mpq, hfvoice.mpq from the HellFire CD to the same directory. That should let you run Hellfire.
