Curious on the experiences of those recently migrating to Linux from Windows 10, Intel-based MacOS, etc. How is it being on Linux? Anything surprise or frustrate you?

I had the same issue with PINCE not restoring the correct memory addresses on start.

Although I think I'm doing something wrong and the memory in modern games is just dynamic so the correct location can't be found with just the memory addresses. Haven't looked if it is possible yet but I assume you need some pattern matching to find the right address, not sure if PINCE can do that yet.

OK that's the same thing I was suspecting. I noticed the memory addresses had similar names, but there was no way to search for partial addresses or anything.
