Hi everyone! So I just switched to Linux and I am a little unsure of what to play on my laptop.

It's a presumably decent laptop, 16gb of ram and Iris Xe, but I find that it has battery issues trying to play anything fancy like Skyrim.

I'm looking into things like emulation, finally tackling my Itch.io backlog, and bringing out old classics.

I like RPGs and text-based choose your own adventure games, so if you have any recommendations I'd appreciate it!

WINE Is Not an Emulator 😉

Seriously, that's what the acronym means, because it's not an emulator, it's a compatibility layer.

There's also Proton for Steam games, or even non-steam games, though it's a little more complicated to set up in the later case.

Oblivion's excellent with mods, though I'm unfamiliar with modding Bethesda games on Linux.
