The only game I have ever played is FIFA on a PS4. Now I have a gaming laptop but have no idea how I should go about playing games on Linux. Appreciate your help in advance!
Addictive? Factorio.

Valheim, factorio, rimworld, dwarf fortress, songs of syx, openttd, kopanito, battletech, baldurs gate 3, Witcher 3, project zomboid, streets of rogue, terraria, stardew valley. All of this works on Linux

Minecraft is super fun and addictive, and works great on Linux.
This is such a short, sweet game, runs on everything: Portal. Even my mom likes it!
Portal and Portal 2 are my go to tests for if a machine qualifies as “an computer”. Basically, if it can run those, it’s probably good enough to be grandmas facebook machine. Might have to toss an ssd into it (exactly what I did with an old core2duo hp pavilion), but generally I find it to be a good rule of thumb.
Plus it gives me an excuse to play Portal when I test a machine :P
I am not a gamer but even I enjoyed portal.
Stardew Valley is a very relaxing and fun game where you start a farm in a small town. It has also has optional multiplayer. I found it very addictive.
FTL
Sid Meier’s Civilization VI (or any other part)
0AD is better
I feel guilty, I’ve downloaded it but haven’t played it yet :')
0AD is really fun (and hard)
No joke, that’s the main reason I’ve barely played it. Even with the built in tutorial and with Distrotube’s guide on 0AD I still feel a bit lost and overwhelmed
@theshatterstone54 @TwinTusks Did you play against the easy AI ?
Back in the days when I first started I had to play 10 games before I could beat the Ai because I chose the normal mode.But playing against the easy or very easy AI gives you all the time you need to understand the mechanics
I can beat easy AI, but theres like 60% chance I’ll lose on normal.
@TwinTusks How does it go ? Is it that you get overrun by a larger army ? Or you have trouble maintaining your economy ?
