I have a potato PC lying around core 2 DUO (Dual Core) with 4GB RAM running linux mint.

What cool games for a 16 yr old I can have installed on it? Suggest some explicit content free game ideas.

Thanks in advance.

OpenTyrian and OpenTTD were my go-to games for many years. Both are easily found for Mint packaged with free assets.

Minetest, Mindustry, 0AD. I can’t speak for how well they’d run on Core 2 but I think they’d be fine.

OpenRA will get you some classic Command and Conquer. You can run them as Appimages on Mint, and on launch they give they option to download freely available assets.

FreeCiv if you want to get lost in some old school Civilisation.

GZdoom you can play with the FreeDoom assets.

And then there are some open source engines but you need to pair with commercial assets: CorsixTH for Theme Hospital ScummVM can run a whole bunch of older adventure games (some might even be free if you have a gog account) OpenRCT2 for Rollercoaster Tycoon 2 DevilutionX for og Diablo
