  • Did you have anyone in a hiring position review your resume? Resume writing is an entire skill, and often, they need to be tailored to the organization where you are applying to work.

    There are a number of other factors, depending on who you talked to; do they have positions available? Is there a hiring freeze? Does the person you are talking with know the job requirements?

    If you really know the office, there is almost certainly someone local with hiring authority, whose job it is to interface with the headquarters. You will need to apply through the HQ Human Resources system, but they may have some authority to pull your resume from the applicant pool, but generally, these are competitive positions and they are not allowed to directly hire.

    If they have contract opportunities, though, you should figure out who the vendor is and apply through the company’s website instead.











  • Your biggest issue is going to be dealing with multiple partitions, unless you can find another boot disk, because your disk is pretty full. I would strongly recommend getting a second disk, unless you are willing to delete a lot of (presumably) game executables.

    It is also a good idea to have a relatively smaller Linux partition, and point your Steam library and other documents to a separate data partition. My 1TB nvme has 150MB EFI FAT32 partition, a 100GB ext4 root partition (Linux is installed here), and the remaining ~900GB as my ext4 data partition. This way, if you choose to install a different Linux, or blow away your root partition, you can relink your Steam/Music/Video Libraries and local AI models, and get up and running again very quickly.

    Outside of the disk, my top recommendation is to archive your active steam games, so you can restore them into Linux without fully re-downloading later. Additionally, unless your games are in Steam Cloud, you will also have a bit of a time restoring save files to the new OS, as the file paths will be different than you are used to on Windows.

    My second recommendation is to ensure secure boot is disabled in your BIOS; there are currently known issues with driver signing with the NVIDIA driver.

    Finally, assuming you’re on a Ubuntu-based distro like Mint, ensure you install Steam from the .deb or apt package, not the flatpak. On Mint, “Install Steam” is available right in the start menu.
