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!

    Oh that’s cool as hell. I think I was aware this existed but never explored it in depth? I’ll look up how to install it right now and see what my options are. I have a decently sized Steam library so this is nice.

      Proton is both always being updated, and the way the compatibility layers work, it can be worth trying a game even if protondb doesn’t have a great label for it. Some games will work with newer versions of proton than what other people have tested before. Some games that wouldn’t run well on your laptop in windows might work fine under proton for complicated reasons.
