Does cheat engine not work with Linux? That seems very odd. I was thinking of going with Linux OS next since windows seems to be going in a shitty direction.
Thanks for all the recommendations I appreciate it.
Sorry for the late response....like months late, lol.
Anyways, Cheat Engine does work on Linux, but only under a comparability layer. Though I don't think Cheat Engine will work on Native Linux games. I use Game Conqueror for those. But when running Windows games, you can install Cheat Engine one the same prefix that the game is running in and it will work. For this game, it doesn't seem to work for me though. This is the only game I have issues with when trying to use Cheat Engine. Game works fine, but Cheat Engine just refuses to work lol.
If you're thinking of Installing Linux, I would say go for it. I made the switch because of how cringe Windows has been. I refuse to use Windows 11. I wouldn't just completely Abandon Windows just yet though. You'd be better off making a second partition on your drive, or on a different drive or something and see if you can get use to it. If you have apps that you need that don't have Linux versions, you'd either have to see if those apps will run with Wine, or find alternatives. Most games work nowadays, unless they have kernel level anti cheat that isn't supported on Linux, or sometimes there can be some driver related issues, but that's pretty rare.
If you're looking for distro recommendations, I like using Nobara. Nobara is based off of Fedora. Everyone's going to recommend a different distro though. As long as you find one you're comfortable with, that's all that matters. If you want something that feels familiar like Windows, Linux Mint might suit you.
