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!

Suikoden I and II are great PSX RPGs, if you can emulate. Shadowrun (Returns, Dragonfall and Hong Kong) are great and Linux native.

Suikoden I and II are required playing for jrpg fans!

But emulation as a suggestion alone is good. You have access to so much of a field of human creativity if you're okay copying the bits to your drive.

Edit: I feel obligated to say that I also like the other suikoden games. My rank is

III

But I still enjoyed IV.
