I'm not sure how many kids will be into PC gaming when a low end Nvidia gpu is currently $550. I know that everything comes pre overclocked, and the 4070s still a good card even though it's got a low and die in it it's just depressing in the principle of it.
Maybe things like the steam deck will push kids into Linux since the mid-range gaming desktop is like two grand now.
I built a decent rig at the time 2 years ago for a 10 year old for less than 600€. Sure, some parts were used and it's obviously no monster but he's still using it daily. He's learning how to upgrade it every time I have money for it, too.
You don't have to buy all new Nvidia GPUs for $550 a piece to play games, ya know?
Yeah my first gaming pc was like...a crappy HP desktop with an Nvidia 6600 that I plugged in. Worked great for Age of Mythology lol
