Honestly you'll have a better time playing it on PC anyway.

Quake's weapon selection isn't as varied, yeah. Quick breakdown of how to use each weapon:
Shotgun = pistol
Double Shotgun = shotgun
Nailgun = chaingun
Super Nailgun = plasma gun, use on the tough guys. This is important because some bosses take only half damage from explosions
Grenades = SSG and zombie gibber. Does more DPS than rocket launcher since it's faster
Rockets = rockets, except they can snipe
Thunderbolt = your BFG with limited ammo, use with quad damage for best payoff

I'd say stick with the double shotgun as a general arm and swap to the most appropriate weapon when it's needed.

For a source port go with Quakespasm, it's GLQuake with all the bugs fixed. If you want things like modified physics and high-res-texture and particle eyecandy out the ass, try Darkplaces (though it's not optimized very well).
