Not finding System Requirements. And no mention at all for Linux.
Only an exclusion of not working on older Win/Mac.
Please provide a link to those.

The web site doesn't do a good job at showing what OSes this is available for, but here is the link to the post in KVR that talks about it:

'Linux First' but also cross-platform (mac/win). A console EQ, multi-compressor, and a tape-sim are available now, with more in progress on their development list. All free and OSS.

ViatorDSP Ripper

Six modes of saturator/distortion, guitar amp, tube, tape, bit reducer etc. Sounds nice, covers a lot of bases.

A few ZAK Sound plugins have Linux support. Hopefully the rest will follow.

Nice to see AudioModern on board but I think they use c/r. SoundBox can run in free mode without activation which is great but the last time I looked at some of their freebies they wanted to be activated. Unless there's been a change recently.

Understood, but this is not a problem for me, though I see it's not optimal having to allow connection - and relying on an external authorization endpoint...
