My favorite software acronym is PINCE, the reverse engineering tool that's similar to Cheat Engine in Winblols, that stands for PINCE Is Not Cheat Engine.
My favorite is the scanning device interface driver protocol.
TWAIN
Technology Without An Interesting Name
I really wanted this to be true but according to Wikipedia that’s an unofficial backronym. :( Sorry to be Debbie Downer.
Get outta here with your facts! /s
I'm partial to a good TLA (three letter acronym) myself.
Well looks like I finally found a cheat engine equivalent for Linux
Sadly not, Cheat Engine has a whole lot more features. PINCE is still very good though
Game Conqueror also works, but is missing a lot of features too from what I can tell. Don't know how it holds up against PINCE.
I've had success getting CE to run with Proton though, specifically by using SteamTinkerLaunch to run it as additional custom command with the game. There are other ways too, like protontricks. In my experience, it has been mostly stable, with the occasional freeze, but generally usable for pointer scanning and such.
