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!

    Rimworld is pretty resource light and runs native on Linux. Has the benefit of being one o of the greatest games ever, too. If you’re into to that kind of game (colony resource management and light war crimes)

      Rimworld is great, has a massive modding community as well

      Not too too sure if I’d enjoy it, however I might…used to play games like Virtual Villagers when I was a kid, so it might be similar? I’ll look into it!

        It’s similar to dwarf fortress, though with less depth in the system, less literal depth with no y-levels, and an infinitely better UI and visuals. The DLC are optional, comparable to large very well-polished mods so if you are hesitant no need to grab the full bundle.
