It's just suspend no matter where you are and let you get back into your game instantly. That's something that none of these other handheld gaming computers can do because they all run Windows. So you get the same nonsense crap that you get with Windows. And Windows is not optimized for a small touchscreen. It really isn't. You're trying to tap things and they're so small that because it's Windows that you can barely even, you know, get a touch point on some stuff. Now most manufacturers have designed front ends, you know, that load when Windows loads. But then you got to load Windows, you got to load that front end, then you got to log into your game stores like Steam or Epic or whatever. Then you got to load your game. So it's even more time. If you got 15 minutes to play, you might get two minutes after you load all that stuff. But SteamOS is very unique and it's owned by Valve. So they get to say which handhelds officially support it. And right now there's only two. There's the Steam Deck, which of course made by Steam, made by Valve. So they own the software, they own the hardware. So it's kind of like Apple in that way. It's optimized for gaming. It's just made for that. But these other devices, there's one though called the ROG Ally X. And it's a powerhouse. It outperforms the Steam Deck, but it still runs Windows. So you still got those Windows limitations with it. But you can unofficially install SteamOS to those devices. I don't know, Bill, if Janine kept the Ally that she bought after or did she send it back? Because I'm curious. Because you can download, if Windows was her issue, you can download SteamOS and put it on a USB stick and install it to the ROG Ally. And it does have support for it now. So then you can completely evaporate Windows off this thing, put SteamOS on there, and then it's like a game console instead of being like a Windows computer with controllers on the ends. And that's what makes the Steam Deck kind of unique. And Valve says they're not putting out a new Steam Deck until possibly 2028. So the hardware that's in there is powerful enough to run just about any game that's out there. Ah, for PC. The only ones you can't run on SteamOS, let me reset.
