Why is the deck not working for them? How old are they? what do they (or want to) play ?
If you look it up it is apparently a common issue with the dock. There is an issue after being put to sleep with detecting hdmi input. You have to unplug the AC adapter for 30 seconds, put it back in, and then the tv and dock will play nice.
From what I read, its not the TV. But who knows, six year olds aren't really going to do that every time to play games. They like Spyro, Rain World, Untitled Goose Game, just random stuff they've seen me play.
Damn, what a bummer. I hope they fix that fast. I'm thinking of installing Bazzite on a PC for my kids. I guess that bug is specific to the Deck's hardware, since Steam on Linux can wake up the PC just fine.
With what I spent, I could hsve gotten them a low-mid range pc to leave hooked up to the tv.
