I've heard lots of good things about Chained Echoes, a recently released JRPG in the style of those older NES / SNES games. Might be up your alley. Runs natively on Linux afaik.

Oh dang, yeah, looks great. Thank you so much for the recommendation! Putting it in my wishlist.
If you like text-based adventure games, check out ifdb.org for a massive store of free and abandoned text-based games. You can play in-browser or on any OS with a native client, Linux and Android included
Might be interested in Endless Sky? It's a 2d spaceship simulator/RPG. I haven't played it in a while but I only started encountering performance issues when my fleet was 40+ ships large and at that point I kinda get it
Starsector. Sseth has a really good review of the game.
Tales of Maj'eyal is my go-to roguelike when I have some down time on laptop.
caves of qud is quite good, its tile based roguelike.
I can't vouch for it running on Linux but that being said, Caves of Qud is really good and has lots of depth.
I've heard something about the dev being a POS or something? Never quite figured out what that was about.

Backpack hero is very cute and fun, and runs very well through proton.
If you install ScummVM you can play most of the Lucasarts titles. All of these games are top tier (Monkey Island, day of the Tentacle etc) and you would enjoy!
Oceanhorn
Cave Story is good / hectic / hard platformer. I might be wrong but I think it was made for Linux first
Also, if you install RetroArch, you can play all the emulated systems.
Gta san andreas, works perfectly fine with the newest wine-ge and dxvk 2.2 but you can try without dxvk if your computer doesnt support vulkan renderer
ofc battery drains if not connected to the electricity network man, these graphics card are not meant to run games if not when they are charging
Anyway you can try SuperTux and Xonotic
Bloons TD6 is pretty fun and light.
Most indie games that are deck verified should work just fine. I'm playing DREDGE on my deck at the moment - absolutely recommend this one and the battery life is phenomenal. Apart from that Factorio or FTL will keep you busy for days (and nights...)
I recommend Baldurs Gate, BD 2. Good games. Also Planescape Torment.
