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!

    If you want try Minetest - opensource “Minecraft” clone.

    You need mods it is more game engin to build mods on so lots of Minecraft like games.

      Interesting! Would it be very ram extensive by default, or do you think it depends on the mods akin to how Skyrim or Sims ends up being more leggy once you add on mods?

        It depends on mods. My 4gb ram and HDD on old laptop (win10 too heavy) was more than enough for some games.

        It runs on phones too so not intensive. You can host your server on another machine and client side is pretty light weight.
