Well, Im going to give you my experience... I recently got a job for programin Bash Scripts, dealing with FTPs and lots of Linux crap Ive never dealt with before. (Including setting up servers/configurations/mail servers) And yeah... I was hired to be a "programmer". (note that I've never had experience with none of the above before)
Month and a half later I can tell you that Linux is awesome. I even installed Mint on my home desktop (Im an Android enthusiast). The best of it? ITS SUPER WELL DOCUMENTED!!! Theres NOTHING you wont find in the internet related any Unix/Linux problem/how to ect... So far I havent been assigned something that I already know how to do it, they give my my orders, I google and I come out victorious!
My biggest regret is not having learned linux in my college years.
Through my career I've learned that everything you learn is an asset to you, youll never know when you are going to use it again for professional o personal matters. So go ahead make the jump, you are doing your professional career a favor.

XQF(6) Games Manual XQF(6) NAME
xqf - 3D action game server browser SYNOPSIS
xqf [options] DESCRIPTION
XQF is a 3D action game (such as Quake, sequels and derivatives) server browser. It uses X and is written using the GIMP Tool Kit, and uses QStat in the backend to retrieve server info. With XQF you can search for Quake, Quake World, Quake2, Quake3, Return to Castle Wolfenstein, Hexen 2, Hexen World, Sin, Half-Life, King- pin, Soldier of Fortun 1/2, Tribes 2, Heretic 2, Unreal, Unreal Tournament, Unreal Tournament 2003, Rune, Descent 3 and many others. You can look at lots of information about the servers. XQF can spawn your client into a selected server with customized options. You can also apply filters while searching for servers, trimming full or empty servers, for example. OPTIONS
XQF accepts several command line parameters: --launch [SERVERTYPE] IP adds the server specified with IP (e.g. 10.10.0.1:27666) to the favorites, queries it and launches the game. XQF tries to automati- cally determine the correct game based on the port. If the autodetections fails XQF will ask you for the game. Alternatively you may directly specify the game type on the command line (e.g. Q3S). --add [SERVERTYPE] IP adds the specified server to the favories and queries it. Basically the same as --launch except that the game is not launched ;-) --debug level set the specified debug level. Use this if you experience problems with XQF. Level 3 is usually sufficient for debugging most prob- lems. Higher levels product lots of output. --version prints the version of XQF. SEE ALSO
