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.

When I used it on Windows, I pirated it. But there exists no way to pirate it on Linux, and when I have enough funds, I will ensure to buy something as useful and irreplaceable as R-Studio, since I get the liberty to use it on any OS.

Also only the Network Technician license costs $800. Regular single user lifetime license costs around $70 and works offline.

That's cool. I've been confused by their pricing. The cheaper licenses seem to be temporary ($1/day).
