Vampire Survivors. It's dopamine in digital form.
Stronghold Crusaders, or Command and Conquer.
Nostalgic childhood games.
Oceanhorn
Bloons TD6 is pretty fun and light.
If you like text-based adventure games, check out ifdb.org for a massive store of free and abandoned text-based games. You can play in-browser or on any OS with a native client, Linux and Android included
Might be interested in Endless Sky? It's a 2d spaceship simulator/RPG. I haven't played it in a while but I only started encountering performance issues when my fleet was 40+ ships large and at that point I kinda get it
I'm a fan of card games like Slay the Spire, Dicey Dungeons, and Monster Train run on practically anything. There's hundreds of hours of fun in there if you're into these games.
Most indie games that are deck verified should work just fine. I'm playing DREDGE on my deck at the moment - absolutely recommend this one and the battery life is phenomenal. Apart from that Factorio or FTL will keep you busy for days (and nights...)
All of the Vampire Survivors like games (aka Bullet Heaven games) are very accessible on low-end linux laptop and super fun. Major time sink though, be warned!
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.
