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!

OP, MUDs are a real treat if you've never experienced them, but you want to find a good, active, sane one. I highly recommend Discworld MUD, even if you're not familiar with the Discworld book series. I've been there on and off since the late 90s. It's amazing how much love this game still gets from admins and creators, and it's 100% free to play.
