Any recommendations for low-end, Linux-friendly games to play? (beehaw.org)

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!

Yep, OpenMW is totally playable. There's also a multiplayer-enabled version of it around, which works surprisingly well.

Multiplayer OpenMW did everything for me that ESO's Morrowind Expansion failed to. The dice-roll combat of Morrowind isn't for everyone, but ESO didn't even feel like an Elder Scrolls game to me. And with OpenMW, even the combat system is technically optional now.
