So I tried to play it in 2019 and I couldn't finish the tutorial, because the slipstream mechanics didn't work, on Linux anyway. I wonder if they fixed it.

Great to hear! Long time fan, one of the best racers of this kind. I wonder if dev got the idea from Ross Scott's Outrun Clones episode

I got it today and I must say I'm impressed. It's more immersive and detailed than I thought

It worked for me back in 2018, the dev even mentioned that they developed the game on Linux back then. It used to be distributed as an AppImage, since the move from libGDX to FNA though I think it uses a standard binary.
I have only played a couple hours over the years, but I haven't had any trouble...

Linux version works OK for me too last time I tried, on ubuntu
This is really cool news, love playing this game split-screen, gameplay is a nice mix between classic Outrun and coast 2 coast
Kinda makes me wish I bought the steam version and not GOG though, didn't think it would end up with Workshop support

Not sure what your problem was, but I completed the game in 2019 without issue. Was one of my favourite games.
