Old Folks Gaming: Senior Edition
Old Folks Gaming: Senior Edition
Hey Guys.
After about ten years my father finally agreed to move to Linux. Because his devices I gifted him are not "supported for Windows 11".
And it is a blast - He loved Gnome for having his two games: Mahjong and Solitair.
Everything works flawlessly; He observed me updating Debian to trixie within an instant to get him his OneDrive back.
Anyhow: I would like to recommend some alternative Games he may like; Just to show off hisnnew operating system (of choice, yay).
If this isn't clear: He isn't gaming "Fullscreen". He chills for 30 Minutes with just his mice infront of the computer.
Any alternative to games would be appreciated as well.
Cheers

You're viewing a single thread.
If he likes solitaire-like number games, maybe 2048?
Game and game-related packages in the Debian Testing repositories:

He observed me updating Debian to testing (i will pin it when the next name is published)
Pin what? The work-in-progress that is currently Debian Testing already has a code name: Trixie. Do you mean you'll switch his apt config from Testing back to Stable once Trixie is released as the new Stable?
Appreciated, will consider this afterwards (when more contributions of Lemmes are done). I already fixed my post: I pinned him to trixie (I used it subconsciously). I won't attempt a (unsupported) downgrade :- ).
You are awesome for following up, Sir or Madame.
I won’t attempt a (unsupported) downgrade :- ).
If you mean changing the apt config from trixie back to stable, that will be perfectly safe to do when trixie becomes the new stable. At that point, they will both be the same distro. The advantage of doing this is that you will automatically get the next stable release that eventually replaces trixie.
