Old Folks Gaming: Senior Edition (suppo.fi)

Hey Guys.

After about ten years my father finally agreed to move to Linux. Because his devices I gifted him are not "supported for Windows 11".

And it is a blast - He loved Gnome for having his two games: Mahjong and Solitair.

Everything works flawlessly; He observed me updating Debian to trixie within an instant to get him his OneDrive back.

Anyhow: I would like to recommend some alternative Games he may like; Just to show off hisnnew operating system (of choice, yay).

If this isn't clear: He isn't gaming "Fullscreen". He chills for 30 Minutes with just his mice infront of the computer.

Any alternative to games would be appreciated as well.

Cheers

Feedback-time:

He had minor hindrances which we addressed today: Printing, Scanning, Icons on the desktop and some windows software for taxes.

Wile loading I showed him some of your selection:

He liked pingus and in a few months he may pick up domino-chain.

Furthermore he may like townscraper but he hadn't the nerve to figure out the bindings. I think TinyGlade will be more accessible (Nvidia Optimus works otb with Debian + Gnome-Context Menus).

Unfortunately 2048 was too hard for him currently but we tried.
