Any one here has any experience with teaching 8 to 12 years old kids Linux?

        Yes, he'll just drop into Steam when something gets too hard to acomplish. I wouldn't use the deck as a learning tool as well.

          But when the time comes and the kid needs to write some assignments for school, you can be like Your Steam Deck can do that too, have a look at what this dock does

          Imagine if handheld gaming is all they've ever used it and known it for, and all of a sudden you show them than it can be a full desktop experience, too

          My mind would've been blown back when I was a kid

            Ah, of course 👍. Maybe like let him do the first few on his laptop and then be like "you know you can do that on the steam deck, right 😏" 😁.

        I love Linux gaming. Got the Steam deck for my SO. She kind of hates it BECAUSE it's not a no tinker device.

        Like if you pick the right games you're good, but want to play the "wrong" game, or want to mod, and your back to tinkering.

        I don't mind it at all, it's just what PC gaming has been for me my whole life, but for her, someone who only experienced gaming on newer consoles it's a pain in the tush.
