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!

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.

at least according to steam info it should run on linux.

tried quickly searching for 'caves of qud controversy or drama. I found an article that could be related to this: https://www.gamesindustry.biz/keeping-trolls-out-of-the-caves-of-qud-community

This steam forum conversation could also be related: https://steamcommunity.com/app/333640/discussions/0/3005549744939895263/

Maybe they angered some group/people with certain political leanings, which tried to smear their reputation? At least that is the general gist of things i'm getting based on quick browsing of these. At least I can't find anything bad.
