From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

It has plenty of nodes locked behind a paywall like magic mask, they also recentlly locked reactor, the community made plugins, behind a paywall (I still think its worth it, especially if you buy hardware for editing, the studio license comes with it)
I thought for sure the free version of DR was still a fully-featured suite and didn't paywall anything ala Adobe, and what you got with the paid version was an actual upgrade over an already pretty powerful app.
Not since 19 for dctl, reactor (which added hella of the festures free missed for free through an open source addon library) etc. got paywalled, 20 adds ai magicmask and subtitles also paywalled, like free is going to slowly lose features while not gaining new ones it seems
