All LINUX Versions are free?
No. Linux is a kernel, not a product. Products built on the Linux kernel can choose how they are sold. Linux itself is free, but it's a small piece of any OS. No major Linux product isn't free, but nothing stops you from making a non-free Linux product other than a general lack of people willing to pay for it.

So the disadvantage to choose LINUX is based on the drivers for different devices that you will use
That's incorrect. Linux has much broader driver support than Windows, and both have much broader support than MacOS. Support for more hardware is actually a huge benefit to Linux. That's why Linux and BSD are available on more platforms than any other OS.
