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.

Yea you might be right... Also why does Zrythm says "Zrythm-trial" during install under Linux? Is it really a trial only? wth
I didn't know this either! Just seen their site, they have several packages: https://www.zrythm.org/en_GB/download.html
I think it is fair enough that they need to make money somehow but looks like they have only made £155 in November which is a shame. I have been a low-level donor for Ardour for 12 years now, and you can see they make something like £4000. I will check out Zrhythm properly as they obviously put a lot of effort in.
That is really a shame! Owh this £155 in November is that only donations? Maybe they also earn via Purchases?
I had assumed that was both but not sure
Their download page lists different payment tiers that include things like "Unlimited tracks" and "Z Series plugins". I presume you get those features for a limited time with the trial.
On the other hand, I presume all those features are available to you perpetually if you build it yourself from source instead of installing from a prebuilt binary.
