[Minigalaxy] How to play Fallout 1 in High Resolution
→ FIX: rename "falloutw.exe"

Switching from GOG Galaxy on Windows to Linux and Minigalaxy,
I struggled a bit getting the game to be fullscreen,
however, an easy fix I found was going into Minigalaxy,
clicking the games drop down menu, to the right of "Play",
Properties>Open Folders and renaming "falloutw.exe",
so that minigalaxy uses "falloutwHR.exe",
the version that includes the patch by Matt Wells.
You can also rename "falloutwHR.exe" to "falloutw.exe",
maybe just in case.
Even simpler, you can just open "[User]/GOG Games/Fallout"
and rename it.

If anyone knows a simple environment variable to add
so that Minigalaxy just launch the correct executable,
that would be insightful.
