How big is gaming in linux?
It's been harsh in the past, you just had to sometimes accept lower framerates/performance on the same hardware. These last few years, thanks to Vulkan and DXVK, it's been a blast though. Loving Lutris as my main launcher too.

(Dumb questions?) Can dnd actually be played solo, and if so how?
Obligatory "Me, Myself and Die!" mention. The season one from three years ago is still a brilliant watch. Trevor plays Savage Worlds here, but you can see how the engine that makes the solo play possible is utilized. That can give you ideas for how to use it with your system of choice.
Me, Myself and Die! Season One

Hoping to add Peripeteia to the list this year.

Are the diablos any good?
You're in for a treat, start with Diablo 1.
Thanks to it's color palette, it's still very atmospheric, even today. There's HD mod that not only makes it no hassle to run this on modern PC with higher resolution but also adds ton of content that was originally cut from the game. It even adds re-imagined cut content that was only just mentioned somewhere in-game or was planned for Diablo 1 but actually ended up being part of Diablo 2 later on. Purists will whine about too many balance/item changes, it's worth it to try the game firsthand.

The mod adds one more difficulty level to the base game, so there's room to keep grinding and making progress if you get into it.
I'd say roll Sorcerer if you just want to finish it and move onto sequels. Sorcerer will be pretty chill to play up to the third difficulty. Pick a Warrior/Rogue if you want the challenge, those classes are gear dependent. Since you can trade gear between characters, actually playing the game as Sorcerer and funneling gear to the other classes is a viable strategy to tackle the fourth difficulty.

Thank you for such a rich reply. So many things to check out! I think we're gonna try Fiasco first, see how that goes. Assuming positive response, I'm gonna make a strawpoll from your suggestions and see which setting is in favor.
