Is there any linux software that I can enter chess960 games, save them as .pgn, and also analyze them with an engine?
I have scid vs. pc now but it does not support chess960 (or I have not figured out how, I saw references to a patch but could not get it to work).

I haven't used either one, but supposedly ChessX and Pychess both support Chess960.

Use PyChess v1.0 or higher + Stockfish
Open New Game , in the chess variant selector, place on last, and select: Shuffle > Fischer Random
