I'm not a gamer, but my 13-year-old son is. All of his classmates play games on Windows, and he has tried almost everything too.

But now he has found a Linux gaming console, and we are both happy with it. He can play, and he doesn't spend all his money on a Windows gaming PC which will never work the way he wants. And what's the best? The Arch Linux and the KDE desktop on it!

If you are interested, he wrote about it here: https://www.hellotux.com/2025_02_16_Finally-a-Linux-gaming-console

Hellotux being that family business that partners with open source projects / linux distros to make merch for them

So... The article is about someone discovering the Steam Deck for the first time. A bit late to the party.

I'll edit the context into the title so it's not clickbait, I thought it was worth sharing a younger person's perspective is all 😄
