You should look at https://pysolfc.sourceforge.io/ https://pysolfc.sourceforge.io/ . It is open source, and besides the classic Klondike solitaire, also has over 1000 other solitaire games. And it definitely will be a lot more energy efficient, too.

Awesome been wanting to fix up my dad with a Linux desktop at some point and Solitaire and Ping Pong from XP were games he played too. Gotta find Ping Pong next.

  On Linux, the other solitaire program worth looking at is KPatience. It only has 12 types of solitaire, but has a pretty nice interface. It's probably worth it installing both PysolFC and KPatience.

  There is a Mahjong variant that I found when I put Mint on my mother's computer. Both of my parents are now addicted to it.

except for the fact it's pretty tricky to make a linux laptop energy efficient.

  It appears to have a Windows installer as well.

I wonder if this has a solitaire game that was in some random CD of various games I had way back when. I believe it was called Thieves and Kings, but essentially, you had a 4x4 grid and your stack of cards. Jacks go in slots in the 2 center top and center bottom slots. Queens go in the 2 center left and center right slots, and Kings go in the corners. At this point, you flip a card one by one and fill up slots. Non-Jacks/Queens/Kings you try to get into the center 2x2 square as they're unimportant, but in time, you're having to judicially place cards into Jack/Queen/King slots in the hope you won't draw one of those and bust because their slot is occupied. After the 4x4 grid is filled, you then pair up non-Jacks/Queens/Kings by pairs that add to 10 (2+8, A+9, 5+5, etc.) and then repeat the process until you have the outer frame filled with Jacks/Queens/Kings.

  It doesn't seem like that particular game is included, unless it's under some other name.
