Here are several ISOs in the releases: https://github.com/Start9Labs/start-os/releases/tag/v0.3.4.4-hotfix Some of them are labeled "nonfree" while others are not. What's the difference between these and are there any tradeoffs? |

I may have partially answered my question as I found out that I can't use the free ISO from Parallels on macOS. I'm guessing there might be similar hardware issues for other environments. |

The non-free images contain proprietary device drivers, that are needed by most DIY hardware. https://docs.start9.com/latest/guides/flashing/flashing-x86#getting-startos |
