Rules:
- 1: No spam or advertising. This basically means no linking to your own content on blogs, YouTube, Twitch, etc.
- 2: No bigotry or gatekeeping. This should be obvious, but neither of those things will be tolerated. This goes for linked content too; if the site has some heavy "anti-woke" energy, you probably shouldn't be posting it here.
- 3: No untagged game spoilers. If the game was recently released or not released at all yet, use the Spoiler tag (the little ⚠️ button) in the body text, and avoid typing spoilers in the title. It should also be avoided to openly talk about major story spoilers, even in old games.

I'll always have a soft spot for the old Sierra games because they were the first adventure games I played, but I think I'd recommend the old LucasArts games to new players nowadays. The LucasArts games were just better designed - they don't have fail states and you can't unexpectedly die so you are more free to explore.
My recommendation would be to check out "Day of the Tentacle". In my opinion it is the best example of point and click games. I don't know about Linux compatibility but it recently had a re release so I think it should work.
