## Do you collect analytics?
Not really. The only analytics are what GitHub collects (I wish I could turn those off but I can't, sorry) and the [visits counter on the limits server](http://limits.ngni.us:45000/powertools/count). No user-identifying information is collected, and you can turn off the online portion of PowerTools to avoid adding to the counter.
## What is an alpha/beta/rc/release version?
Alpha versions are very early builds with incomplete features and buggy changes.
Beta versions are slightly more polished builds with mostly complete features but still a few bugs.
RC (release candidate) versions are builds that are hopefully ready for full release, but haven't gone through the approval process.
Release versions are the builds on the official Decky store which are feature-complete and hopefully don't have any major bugs. Release versions don't have any alpha/beta/rc in their version name.
Alpha, beta and rc versions are only on NGnius's custom Decky plugin store since they aren't for the faint of heart.
You can remember it by people who use similar terms. People who call themselves "alpha" are usually the least mentally stable, "beta" is used by slightly more mentally stable people, and normal people don't call themselves any Greek letter. Normal people also don't think that debunked **wolf** studies are a good way to organize **human** society, though the alpha and beta humans might do better in wolf society.
## Does this work on \<other handheld>?
Maybe. If it can run SteamOS 3, it can probably run Decky and PowerTools. Though I'm unable to test on \<other handheld> because of this darn inconvenient thing called capitalism.
