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!

I haven't seen any showstoppers besides very small sometimes garbled text (maybe exclusive to my obscure distro) and intro movies crash. People have been working on repackaging them and there's a suite of tools which may help. I'll admit that I've been working on my own various EV clones a lot more than I've actually been playing EV for a long while, but it remains a favorite.
