First of all I'm sorry I'm posting here so much. Hope I'm at least providing some filler for this place.

I'd like to edit some stuff into my save because I'm lazy and don't wanna grind. I also want to hack in an old sea map. Are there any save editors with Linux support?

PKHeX works in wine, I've been using it just fine. You do need to install some Microsoft framework into your prefix, but it prompts you to download it when starting up for the first time and then you're good to go!

A quick look says that pkhex doesn't build on Linux anymore, but there is an aur entry for pkhex-bin, which sets it up to run in wine at least?

I don't have the power or know how for wine. Both my machines are pretty weak.

Wine shouldn't cause a performance impact, especially for something like pkhex.

If you are on an arch-based distro, pkhex-bin should set itself up with everything it needs to run, all you need to do is put 'yay -S pkhex-bin' in the terminal and follow the prompts.

I'm on Linux mint. The main hassle will be setting wine up. Are there Linux native alternatives?

Then you are SoL. No one has made a Linux native pokemon save editor, and its been years since pkhex was able to compile on Linux.
