Thank you very much for your interest. My scientific research is about structural transformations in matter (molecules) and its interaction with electromagnetic radiation. I obtain these properties from quantum mechanical calculations. If you are interested in my research, the link for my profile in Google scholar is Rene Felipe Keidel Spada - Google Acadêmico .
Recently I got this fellowship to buy a couple of servers and I decided to test ClearLinux (CL) since it seems to be a modern system for servers and provides recent versions of the gnu compilers and algebra libraries.
It is working really great. At first, took me a while to get used to the bundles, but swupd is a powerful tool. Also, the documentation for CL is really well written and useful.
I hope that in the next semester this servers are already full loaded and in the first semester of 2021 I will publish some results obtained from them.
I am planning to install CL in my desktop too and make it my main development system, but I still need to organize my backups before I do this, and I will need to have some time to compile some programs that can not be installed via swupd yet.
In general, it seems that every detail in CL was well thought. Even the “$” color at the bash prompt changes to red if there was an error. The dev team is doing a great job. I am loving it. Also, the community in the forum is very friendly.
Edit: I am also very curious how the intel compilers and math libraries will perform in CL.
