I have included a image of my specs, im also using Linux sense thats what works on my laptop. Im looking for free to play games that will run smoothly on my system/laptop. I would like to try popular and maybe online titles.
I thought about trying old school RuneScape but idk.
While I’m not sure how much of a difference the CPU and RAM will cause, my current laptop has the same GPU, so I should have a general idea of what games will work on your laptop.
Since you mentioned RuneScape, I do actually have RuneLite (a third party client for OSRS) on this computer and it does run fine. I haven’t tested it yet but I’m pretty RuneScape (RS3) should also work well. The last time I ran RuneScape on Linux was when I had a computer with an Intel HD Graphics 3000 and I was able to get an almost playable frame rate at my usual graphical settings, so I’m curious about how well it’ll run on my current computer, but I currently don’t have any interest in playing RuneScape at the moment.
As for other games, if you’re interested in games similar to quake, I’m not really a fan of these types of games but I know that World of Padman worked pretty well when playing offline, so I don’t see why it wouldn’t work well on your computer. It might seem like a weird choice at first but the levels are quite large and detailed, and the music is also pretty good as well. It started as a mod for Quake 3 before it became it’s own standalone game. This can either be downloaded from their website or from Flathub.
Another game I know of is called Urban Terror. Similar to World of Padman, it also derived from Quake 3 but it looks and plays more like Counter Strike (or at least what I think CS plays like). I personally didn’t care for this one as much but some people might like it more than WoP. This can be downloaded from either their website or from Flathub.
The trusty twinkpad will play a lot of *‘good old game’*s, just to name a few:
Doom(s), Quake(s), Unreal, Deus Ex, Elder Scrolls (Arena, Daggerfall, Morrowind, Oblivion, Skyrim), Thief(s), Dungeon Keeper(s), Carmageddon, Fallout(s), Resident Evil(s), Vampire: The Masquerade, Hitman(s), Clive Barker’s Undying, Gothic(s), Half-Life, Tomb Raider(s), Myst(s), Monkey Island(s), Baldur’s Gate(s), Icewind Dale(s), Diablo(s), GTA(s), KotOR, Outcast, Serious Sam(s), Cave Story, Dark Souls (1 & 2, bcs 30fps, but only barely/unpleasanty?), …
Maybe some newer retro ones, like Dusk?
Or not that visually important games, like 2D platformers and management games, etx - like Stardew Valley, Terraria, Dead Cells, Disco Elysium, Hollow Knight, Celeste, Momodora(s?), Spelunky(s), …
Sonic Robo Blast 2 Kart - A super fun and challenging Mario Kart style game made in the original Doom engine.
CatsEyeXI - An unofficial, custom Final Fantasy XI MMO server with fast leveling, solo play and many quality of life features. (Following guides is still recommended, because it’s a complicated and vague game at the best of times!)
ETLegacy - A free to play version of Wolfenstein: Enemy Territory, a fun and fast team-based first person shooter.

Oh, nice :)
Any Gameboy game with an emulator.
Nintendo doesn’t care about making their old games, nay, works of art like Golden Sun still playable, so I consider them free to play at this point.
Bit of an odd example to cite since both Golden Sun games are officially available on NSO.
Seems like it’s a yearly subscription membership only thing. If I can’t buy it and own it I pirate it.
Notice how the the NSO platform is not available on the PC? No sale, time to download.
The person I replied said Nintendo wasn’t making their old games playable at all. You’re complaining about something else.
Gog has a small list of free games. Some can even be modded further, like Daggerfall.
