Dear Bethesda, quit teasing and just make it happen already. Y'know you want to.
Late to the party, but, if you get a copy of Quake 1 off GoG and then update that with the Ironwail engine you'll have the most flexible setup ever.

DOOM 1 & 2: Damn, It's Good to Be Back!
Give ironwail a try. Built off of Quakespasm so all the same features, but with 144fps support and added options to make the game even more authentic.

Need help setting the resolution
If you own the game on GOG, then you should be able to download the remaster version. Otherwise, you should get the old files and use a source port instead. The older version's executables are decades old, and not very compatible with modern OS. Ironwail is a good one. If you can't use it, fall back on Quakespasm.
