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!
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.
