You do know gzdoom exists, right? You can play old id games and games based on the doom engine natively by purchasing them and running the .wad file through gzdoom.
This is true, but for idtech 3 and 4 games there were official Linux binaries, but they arent distributed by platforms like steam, even though they already ship Linux versions of other games. Quake 4 or Doom 3 was I think the last of the official Linux binaries from Id.
There are better source ports if you just want to play vanilla doom games.
I know, you can set the native version up outside of Steam, (and they'll probably be superior if it's a source port). It would still be nice if the version Steam gave you was a native Linux version.
