What is the best linux distro for scientific research?

I am looking for a linux distro that can be a true replacement for windows 10. I don't mind the poor linux graphics, I just need a stable distro with the best applications/packages targeted for scientific community. Can you suggest some?

Use file for Samba User Backend?

I'm trying to build a small SMB honeypot for a Windows Domain network. I've read through the docs a bit and it seems like it's only possible to authenticate a user if they're present in /etc/passwd and their smb password has been set via smbpasswd or pdbedit – but obviously that doesn't scale well.

Anyone knows a way of having a simple file used as user + password backend smbd uses to look up the entries?

I want to get Minecraft as a flatpak but it doesn't work.

Here is what happened.

apt install flatpak apt

install gnome-software-plugin-flatpak

flatpak remote-add --if-not-exists flathub https://flathub.org/repo/flathub.flatpakrepo

I did all of this then i put in

sudo flatpak install flathub com.mojang.Minecraft

But it came up with this

n...n@penguin:\~$ sudo flatpak install flathub com.mojang.Minecraft

Looking for matches…

ERROR: Unable to load summary from remote flathub: Could not connect: Socket I/O timed out

Does this have to do with my internet

looking for new Linux computer

I am looking for and having trouble finding a computer that is of comparable size to the Intel NUC but would like to use an AMD APU. I see new ones coming along such as 65W Ryzen 7 5700G.

Any suggestion on where to look?

I doubt it matters but will likely be using Manjaro KDE or GNOME.

Linux from scratch.

So recently I acquired a job, and I want to fill my out of work hours with a computer hobby somewhat.

I was think maybe as I read and dip my feet into the Linux world like virtual machines and what not, I want to head towards creating it from scratch.
I have various programming software skills so I’m not a stranger to learning languages and using command.

What I want to know is should I use my sea gate to backup my laptop and work towards this big project on my own laptop or should I invest into a new PC/ laptop to begin building it?
Let me know and anything else I should be thinking about.

My personal laptop specs; Dell Inspiron 5770
I7 1.8 GHz
16 fb ram
64 bit
Atm windows 10
Couple keys don’t seem to work
Have had it couple years.

For the build I was thinking of following the LFS book 10.1

What y’all think? Personal experiences, tips, advice, explanation how raspberry Pi might help, back up ideas (want to not lose al my personal stuff) literally anything that can help would be awesome

This idea just came to me in the last 6 hours and the more I read into it the more I want to work towards it.

Ubuntu 20.04: Switching from GUI to CLI, get a ghost cursor in the GUI

So when switching from CLI windows (idk if that's the proper name, I mean when you ctrl alt f5, etc) and going back to the GUI i get a cursor in the bottom right half of my screen on top of all the windows along with my normal, functional cursor.

Cant seem to find a fix for this? Any ideas (goes away when you restart the display-driver service, but that closes all gui programs, so not really a fix)

Native Linux Twitch Application Release

Afternoon all. I released a Linux Twitch application which mirrors the web interface. It's an Electron app which means "bloat". It comes in over 100MB because, well,, Electron. It should have all of the features that the web version does so it should be very familiar. This should technically work on Windows and Mac as well, however more testing is needed. Please let me know if there are any issues and open issues on Git, if you can.

Let me know your thoughts!

Just download, untar, delete tar (don't need a large file taking up space), set as executable, and run it:

* wget [https://github.com/NOVATechnocrat/TwitchElectron/releases/download/2.0/Twitch-linux-x64.tar.xz](https://github.com/NOVATechnocrat/TwitchElectron/releases/download/2.0/Twitch-linux-x64.tar.xz)
* tar xvf Twitch-linux-x64.tar.xz
* rm Twitch-linux-x64.tar.xz
* chmod +x ./Twitch-linux-x64/Twitch
* ./Twitch-linux-x64/Twitch

All in one:

wget https://github.com/NOVATechnocrat/TwitchElectron/releases/download/2.0/Twitch-linux-x64.tar.xz && tar xvf Twitch-linux-x64.tar.xz && rm Twitch-linux-x64.tar.xz && chmod +x ./Twitch-linux-x64/Twitch && ./Twitch-linux-x64/Twitch
