You're using ubuntu. So, you can just install it with apt.
ubuntu package

In any case I also recommend dhewm3; if not the game runs perfectly under proton in any case.

The dhewm3 page has a link to the download.
I got it from here - https://www.moddb.com/games/doom-iii/downloads/doom-3-131-linux-x86

As already mentioned, the best option is to install dhewm3 using your package manager; ubuntu seems to have it on the standard repos (fedora has it in rpmfusion-free).
When you launch 'dhewm3' from the command line, it looks for the game assets here:
~/.local/share/dhewm3/
All you need to do is to define symlinks from the folders inside
$YOUR_STEAM_LIBRARY/steamapps/common/Doom 3
to that folder -- namely, the 'base', 'd3xp', 'Docs', and 'pb' folders.Here's the official FAQ on linking to the assets: https://github.com/dhewm/dhewm3/wiki/FAQ#where-do-i-need-to-put-the-game-data-files

That's what got me interested. So I picked up the game and now I got this error when running dhewm3
WARNING: couldn't load mod-specific base.so, defaulting to base game's library!

"make sure to install both the dhewm3 and the dhewm3-doom3 package - the latter contains the base.so"
