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!

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

One Hour One Life and Two Hours One Life (open source) can be run on pretty much any computer.
The concept is: you're born as a baby or a fertile woman and you have to gather and build to survive. Your maximum age is 60 years (OHOL) or 120 years (2HOL) and you hunt, gather, build tools, have babies and raise them. You can become the matriarch of a huge multigenerational family and build towns, buildings, farms, roads and weapons. People keep adding to it, I haven't played in awhile but I think they have cars and airplanes now.
The graphics are MS Paint-quality but the gameplay is so incredibly fun. Highly recommend.

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

I recommend Baldurs Gate, BD 2. Good games. Also Planescape Torment.

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

If you're into ARPGs, Project Diablo 2 works pretty well under Wine/Proton.

the EV games combine asteroids style flight with choose your own adventure text walls. I recommend Nova. You'll need to run it in WINE.

How well do these run in wine now? When I last tried (a good few years ago), I remember bugs that stopped me doing a full play through, although I don't remember what they were. I'll give it another shot if things are better now.

On the back of the EV recommendation, I'd add Endless Sky. Very heavily inspired by the EV line, although the feel of combat is a little different. Open source and under development, and should run on most hardware.

Also Naev, if you're in to EV and Endless Sky.
