There's an archived thread about replaying old games here:
https://www.gog.com/forum/general_archive/replaying_titles
I've recently started to not only replay those games 10+ years later, but making notes on how I install and run them on a modern Linux. Even the games that were released with Linux binaries don't fare well with the current state of the OS, As well, WINE, PlayOnLinux, and Crossover have progressed enough that these older games play well and are enjoyable, especially when updated with hi-res texture packs.
I've tried to document for myself what I had to do and what files and mods I used here:

I just recently became aware of the https://www.gog.com/forum/general/the_judas_does_this_run_in_wine_thread_v1173 thread and have great appreciation for someone who can slog their way through so many games and solve so many problems.
I have been working through all the Quakes, the Unreals and many of the Wolfensteins, all of which I purchased retail years ago or from GOG. I'm delighted to see such community support for these games.
A few of these games I never finished, so there are still new things for me to discover.
What are you replaying now?
