Flatpak packages support most Linux distributions and are sandboxed. The Easy Effects Flatpak package also includes all available plugins.

A comprehensive set of help pages are included in the application itself, accessed via the hamburger menu in the top right. If the help pages are inaccessible ensure the yelp package is installed.
