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!

Nuclear Throne. It's a fun Roguelike dungeon crawler. A run from beginning to "end" (last level before looping) can take 15min and I've spent 100s of hours playing over the years.There' are so many characters you can choose to play, each with its own unique special ability.

If you never got around to playing Baldur's Gate or Icewind Dale the enhanced editions of those games on steam run great. I played them on an absolute potato and they ran great.

Dark Souls Remastered should run just fine, one of the greatest games ever. Also make sure you play it with a controller!

If you like roguelikes I'd recommend Dungeon Crawl Stone Soup.

ofc battery drains if not connected to the electricity network man, these graphics card are not meant to run games if not when they are charging

Anyway you can try SuperTux and Xonotic

Neither RPGs nor choose your own adventure games, but I'll leave Celeste, Hollow Knight, and Cuphead here anyway
