Hey Guys.

After about ten years my father finally agreed to move to Linux. Because his devices I gifted him are not “supported for Windows 11”.

And it is a blast - He loved Gnome for having his two games: Mahjong and Solitair.

Everything works flawlessly; He observed me updating Debian to trixie within an instant to get him his OneDrive back.

Anyhow: I would like to recommend some alternative Games he may like; Just to show off hisnnew operating system (of choice, yay).

If this isn’t clear: He isn’t gaming “Fullscreen”. He chills for 30 Minutes with just his mice infront of the computer.

Any alternative to games would be appreciated as well.

Cheers

    If he’s looking for something social… Consider Brighter Shores.

    It’s a modern table top styled MMO by Andrew Gower (the RuneScape guy). Just like RuneScape it’s a point and click adventure MMO so … it’s really easy to pick up. It also works great as a windowed game, has low hardware requirements, and everything is saved server side so progress is pretty much impossible to lose.

    It’s got 2 free episodes (which is a lot of stuff to potentially do) and the optional subscription is currently $5.99/mo so it’s also very affordable.

    Linux is not natively supported but it runs great under Proton … and the team seems very keen on making it work on as many platforms as possible.
