The Sound Designer's Ultimate Drum Machine - Battalion by Unfiltered Audio
Battalion is the new hybrid synth + sample-based drum machine plugin from Unfiltered Audio with deep control and generative pattern features.
With all the things you can do to create sound and mangle sounds, I'm sure this one will be a hit with sound designers.

I was gifted this plugin with no obligation to make a video, but I like it enough I wanted to!

I jumped to Linux for my audio needs and often struggle with looking for information concerning external synths and hardware and almost every DAW (Waveform Pro, Zrythm, I wont bother with ardour, and I have Studio One (S1) Linux) available on Linux. This route might suit me since I am unsure of the direction Presonus is going and how well their Linux implementation will perform. I would still prefer it to be 1 track for audio i/o and MIDI like in S1 but oh well.. two tracks it is. Reaper plays nicer with my synths - when I press stop - it stops everything.. unlike S1.
