I'm an experienced linux user and I tried to play doom 1 today. And for me it was a complete failure. How it has come that it is so hard?

There were Linus youtube series [0] about linux gaming. But I was skeptical about it as all games I wanted to play have native linux support. And I didn't experience any problems with them at all.

But today I wanted to launch Doom 1(which I own via gog.com) and it was a failure. I tried to launch it via wine and dosbox with no luck. Also, it doesn't have any .wad files available.

I tried to search it via duckduckgo and I came across zdoom [1] and tried to download it. Ubuntu's 64bit version is 404 at the moment. 32 bit version requires .wad files which gog.com version doesn't provide. And I'm stuck here trying to play 28 yo game.
