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!

I've completed several playthroughs of Morrowind on OpenMW, and I've found it to be superior to the original engine in every way. The only thing that you might have issues with is certain mods may not be compatible with it, but I don't really use mods.

Daggerfall's a huge game, but it gives you a ton of freedom in how you play. Once you figure out the basics, it's a great dungeon diving experience. Although the procedurally generated dungeons aren't everyone's cup of tea, since they can get pretty crazy sometimes. I would highly recommend a teleportation spell (mark/recall all-in-one).
