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!

    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.
    edit to add: also after you die you can go look at your offspring and their offspring, whether they’re still alive, what they died of etc. It’s a great community game. You can also run private servers if you want to play with friends instead of strangers.
