Quoting: GuestSadly another job though where could I do it? Yes. Can I _prove_ I can do it on a CV? No. My recordable work history took a different route.

My impression was there's more job offers than (good) developers, so I guess there might be a chance without prove of work?

It's entirely possible I'm simply a bad developer, but anytime I've tried anywhere slightly outside my core CV experience I hear either nothing back, or get a very nice letter saying no. It's to be expected really. If my current application falls through however, I may look into this because there will be nothing to lose.

Get in contact with one of the established freelance porters. They usually have some extra work they should be willing to let others prove themselves on.

Unless this has changed, this game actually uses the open-source Torque3d engine, which has a somewhat functional Linux port.

Is it just my imagination, or are we finally seeing games designed for females, as opposed to superfical efforts of slapping females protagonists into otherwise default(=male) genre games or worse corporate "Barbie world" type of software?

This one at least, seems to tick many boxes... at least that is what I( as a male) would imagine a game being truely designed for a primarily female audience would look like.

Of course that doesn't mean it can not be a fun game for males as well. In fact, I would say a great game needs to be fun for everyone :)

Is a fun but very hard platformer. Despite being early access it runs well on Linux and has sufficient content.

Playing it on my GPDwin1 handheld :)

Is that actually fun to play with a mouse?

It looks very touchscreen stylus input oriented. I would guess this developed out of a children's "learn how to write Hiragana" edutainment game.

Hmm, but this version is closed-source again, or where did they hide the source code?

Quoting: GuestI sometimes check my driver, and it is still at the same number. Then I read news like this and think: 'how does this apply to me? There is nothing new out'. So...what am I missing here? :)

Depends on your distribution when that reaches you. On Ubuntu you can add a PPA with newer drivers or alternatively install a rolling distribution like Manjaro that gets updated drivers more often.

But it's all a trade off between stability and too many updates ;)

I am wondering if they are selling off the stock of the current Steam controllers (highly recommended, get one for this price) so that they can reveal the new version that allows direct connection to a streaming service like the Stadia one?

This uses the Darkplaces Engine. Might be worth a try if the Linux binary works. If not they are legally required (GPL) to give you the source code of their modifications so that you can compile your own Linux version.
