Didn't he code on Solaris or something weird in the workstation family and port quake over to dos? I only remember him having a giant CRT monitor where he'd sit and code for photos back in the 90s

It was NextSTEP and that was for Doom. I think they switched to Windows NT for Quake (or was that Quake 2?), which is what he was working on in that pic with the giant CRT.

The switch to Windows NT happened with Quake 2, the original Quake was still NeXTSTEP.
