if Quake II is under GPL-2.0...
doesn't it mean that Quake II has a good to high potential to be supported on Linux?

The license doesn’t really matter, unless you mean it should be included in the kernel. If it was another permissive license, you could also port it to Linux. I have no clue if it’s actually possible to port it to Linux natively, but I would guess that you can
