Looking if they are in Spanish! But I like them for her.
A big advantage of Putt-Putt for my 6 yo children was that many of these games had voice-overs in our language, German. It seems they were not translated to Spanish though.
I have to ask what is your recommendation then ?
For games? That hardware wasn't great 10 years ago, so you're limited to older and low-spec games. You're also likely going to struggle with Proton through lack of Vulkan support. That's still quite a lot of games to choose from, though.

So, for the entire summer, my house has been filled with Zelda as the game of choice, lol. While I don't play, I must admit, Nintendo has done a good job making a SP game that's not only really good, but really fun to watch as a family and add commentary on!!
Noticing my 9 year old seems to really enjoy the building aspect of the game, making tanks and walkers and other battle weapons, I decided to have him try Besieged on Linux. It's a lot harder, but he had fun with the first few levels!
They've been asking for the own PC recently, so I might cave in and get them something midrange (?). I'm debating between something super cheap (and older) vs something more modern and capable.
The big question for me was for what they need it ? Why they ask for it ? My kid view the PC as the homework resource and Kirby playing, so it was really easy for me, but my nephew wanted to play Minecraft so they have to get a more powerful machine because an old one wasn't enough.
(P.S. Oops, that was an old post on the first page that just caught my attention, not a recent one)

I played through it and consider it a great puzzle game. One evening during Christmas vacations, far away from my computer, I found the solution for a puzzle i had struggled with for days. So, the puzzle wasn't too complex, I could remember all the parts and figure it out, it was just difficult in a good, satisfying way.
Maybe the game takes a slow start, and then, of course, there's the philosophy, which may or may not resonate with you.

I did have a talk with them the other day. School, journaling, Web browsing, and gaming. With that in mind, I think, if I can afford it, I'll aim for a good CPU platform and add GFX and memory later, as needed.
