If you like roguelikes I'd recommend Dungeon Crawl Stone Soup.
Dark Souls Remastered should run just fine, one of the greatest games ever. Also make sure you play it with a controller!
A Vampyre Story worked nice on Wine on an old computer with Mint Xfce when I played it last year. Only had to set Wine as windowed full screen, since the game got issues when alt-tabbing. Also worth noting it requires DirectX on Windows, so you'll have to use DXVK.
Haven't seen any PICO-8 games lag on Linux, and both Celeste Classic games were released on PICO-8.
Dust: An Elysian Tail might be playable, bar maybe two areas (one mandatory) that have a lot going on.
Slay the Spire should run fine, but I had to sideload an older version of OpenJDK to get it working (maybe 8 or 11; don't remember which exactly).
Songs for A Hero also seems to run fine.
Tanglewood is a Mega Drive homebrew, so should be playable on any emulators your PC can run.
Va-11 Hall-A: Cyberpunk Bartender Action also runs fine.
Böbl and Nix: The Paradox Relic should both run fine on NES emulators.
I recently played through every Deus Ex game on linux, first 2 are oibviously low end, and maybe Human Revolution , it came out in 2011. the original and Human revolution are pretty good if you like rpgs, Invisible war the second game is alright but pretty light on some elements that make those two great, cause it was made i think with thje original xbox in mind instead of pc.
Neither RPGs nor choose your own adventure games, but I'll leave Celeste, Hollow Knight, and Cuphead here anyway

the EV games combine asteroids style flight with choose your own adventure text walls. I recommend Nova. You'll need to run it in WINE.
How well do these run in wine now? When I last tried (a good few years ago), I remember bugs that stopped me doing a full play through, although I don't remember what they were. I'll give it another shot if things are better now.
On the back of the EV recommendation, I'd add Endless Sky. Very heavily inspired by the EV line, although the feel of combat is a little different. Open source and under development, and should run on most hardware.
