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

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.
