Games that work with my hardware (discuss.tchncs.de)

Is there a service or knowledge base somewhere that can help you find the highest rated games for your hardware?

Background: I don’t have much time for games and just installed Bazzite on a few years old ThinkPad. I would like to play some games on it but don’t know what I can expect to be playable. I see tons of “will it run on steam deck” info but honestly couldn’t even figure out where this computers performance lies compared to a steam deck. This should be easy. Just type in specs, maybe filter genre and say “sort by meta score” or “sort by steam rating”.

My mistake, ether way they asked for a db of compatible games and thats what I linked

I'm sorry, you're right it is another important piece of the puzzle and my comment didn't really add anything.

I would say clarifying Fedora upstream is important. Since there is no Bazzite option on Proton DB and I know nothing about Bazzite.

And this is why I love lemmy. No drama.

Thank you to all! I was aware of what bazzite is but this might be relevant for some lurkers. I am indeed mostly interested in what my hardware can do. I don’t game enough to warrant a hardware upgrade right now. Once I do want to upgrade it would be good to see “what should I go for to be guaranteed a good experience on the more modern games I am curious about”. My desktop is aging and I might go laptop-only at some point and live without the latest AAA games, there’s a huge back catalog!
