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!

Starsector. Sseth has a really good review of the game.

Gta san andreas, works perfectly fine with the newest wine-ge and dxvk 2.2 but you can try without dxvk if your computer doesnt support vulkan renderer

If you install ScummVM you can play most of the Lucasarts titles. All of these games are top tier (Monkey Island, day of the Tentacle etc) and you would enjoy!

Most indie games that are deck verified should work just fine. I'm playing DREDGE on my deck at the moment - absolutely recommend this one and the battery life is phenomenal. Apart from that Factorio or FTL will keep you busy for days (and nights...)

Cave Story is good / hectic / hard platformer. I might be wrong but I think it was made for Linux first

Also, if you install RetroArch, you can play all the emulated systems.

If you like Pokemon like games, take a look at Cassette Beasts! Very charming game!
