One Hour One Life and Two Hours One Life (open source) can be run on pretty much any computer.
The concept is: you're born as a baby or a fertile woman and you have to gather and build to survive. Your maximum age is 60 years (OHOL) or 120 years (2HOL) and you hunt, gather, build tools, have babies and raise them. You can become the matriarch of a huge multigenerational family and build towns, buildings, farms, roads and weapons. People keep adding to it, I haven't played in awhile but I think they have cars and airplanes now.
The graphics are MS Paint-quality but the gameplay is so incredibly fun. Highly recommend.
edit to add: also after you die you can go look at your offspring and their offspring, whether they're still alive, what they died of etc. It's a great community game. You can also run private servers if you want to play with friends instead of strangers.

Chrono trigger for SNES, ff 7,8,9 for psx. If you can run citra bravy default. Final fantasy 3 for PSP, ff tactics for GBA.
Gta san andreas, works perfectly fine with the newest wine-ge and dxvk 2.2 but you can try without dxvk if your computer doesnt support vulkan renderer
Cave Story is good / hectic / hard platformer. I might be wrong but I think it was made for Linux first
Also, if you install RetroArch, you can play all the emulated systems.
Bloons TD6 is pretty fun and light.
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...)
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

Well steam has proton, which can run many, many windows games at generally good speeds. I suggest looking at older games and indie games, as they will run best on your Xe. For example, the Heroes of Might and Magic series, particularly 3 and 5 are very good 4x/RPG hybrids. Find interesting games then go to protondb.com and see if its 'gold' or better
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
Starsector. Sseth has a really good review of the game.
Neither RPGs nor choose your own adventure games, but I'll leave Celeste, Hollow Knight, and Cuphead here anyway
I will second Cuphead. Fair warning: it’s really difficult in that old-school sidescroller way in that you will lose many lives and you will have to try the levels again many times. But it is far and away one of my favorite games ever because the developers hand-animated it in 1920s rubber hose style — I’m talking frame by frame, by cell. They have a great art book too if you really take to it like I did. 😅
! Book.
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

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.
I recently played through every Deus Ex game on linux, first 2 are oibviously low end, and maybe Human Revolution , it came out in 2011. the original and Human revolution are pretty good if you like rpgs, Invisible war the second game is alright but pretty light on some elements that make those two great, cause it was made i think with thje original xbox in mind instead of pc.
Does Human Revolution require stealth? I don't like stealth.
Depends, i dont think theres any missions where not using stealth fails the mission. You usually get a choice, but not using stealth can have story consequences in some cases, theres nothing really that makes it feel like it super matters cause the endings you get i believe end up being the same regardless ( all ill say to avoid spoilers) , but not using stealth can have consequences in your interactions with story characters, and the other interactions not related to the main story.
However you are free to blast your way through enemies if you so desire, as i recall. It does however make things more difficult in a few missions.
