whats the scoop on clear linux?
(lemmy.ml)
It feels weird to me to invest in a distro that focuses on just one CPU manufacturer for a laptop. If I was trying to hyper-optimize a server then it makes sense. But what if you get very used to how this works and then switch to an AMD laptop in a couple years? Or maybe ARM becomes the next big thing?
I agree, it is strange. But I run Intel tech in my laptop so maybe take advantage?
Clear Linux or ClearOS?
yea that always confused me, I think it's clear linux; the one that's sorta built for intel products
I tried it, it was peppy, but barebones. Similar to MS Mariner CBL. Seemed geared to headless server or purpose built equipment.
Interesting, thanks
It's heavily Intel-optimized as you can tell from the project's page. The distro is primarily aimed at container workloads but there's no harm in using it as a desktop distro. It's supposedly fast! (according to Phoronix benchmarks).
Thanks, I just imagine it working good given my dell xps 13 has all Intel drivers and such

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.
