Obligatory short list of great old school RPGs:
Fallout 1 & 2
Baldur’s Gate 1 & 2
Icewind Dale
Planescape Torment
(I think Neverwinter Nights belongs on the list as well, but I can’t attest to it as I’ve never played it.)
You can pick up most of them from GOG.COM for cheap.
There should be enough to keep you occupied for a while.

What systems they run on?
Faydaikin@beehaw.org 6 months ago
Just Windows PC. There’s a few of them that people have tried to get to run on Linux over the ages, but success rates varies.

Well no can do :c
Mainly looking for stuff for an android gmainb machine
Mainly oldish console stuff

That’s too bad. They’re really good games. But good Luck with the search.

Fallout 1 and 2 should definitely run on Linux even with some patches
BG1&2 I heard some success stories but haven’t tried myself

It’s been a while since I gave it a shot myself. I haven’t fiddled with “The Great Old Ones” on Linux since back in the late 90’s. So you’re likely more of a proper authority on the matter than I.

@jinwk00 @Faydaikin pretty sure I played both, Fallout 1+2, on Linux before too.
The more recent ones run too, of course. This is from my Lutris Launcher listing ~272h of playtime on this installation - last played tonight 😁
