With a pre release Ubuntu 20.04 Clear Linux is slightly faster.
EDIT 2: tldr; AMD 8% faster in Clear Linux, Intel 14% faster. AMD is miles faster (20%) than Intel in almost everything on Linux.
- tiffanyh 7y agoClearLinux is the dark horse doing amazing things that the HN community seems to shun.
- cies 7y agoWhere other distros then learn from so people not willing to go with Intel's toy project can enjoy them.
- andy_ppp 7y agoI have no idea if it is a toy project or not? Do you have evidence things are often broken for example?
- cies 7y agoToy in the sense that it's fully at Intel's whims.
- andy_ppp 7y agoSo Ubuntu is also a Toy project because it's fully at Ubuntu's whims?
- cies 7y agoWell, they are not a chip giant, so they actually have make money off of it. Intel could drop this project anytime, and not see any difference in revenue, and many have questioned the backstory of this distro.
- bpizzi 7y agoI, for one, plead guilty of shunning here. The homepage states that the desktop flavor is aimed at developers ('Clear Linux OS offers options that are tailored specifically for the developers’ production'), then searching for well known tiling WM (xmonad, i3) on the packages page yields not result. Not sure what other big things are left apart too. No thanks.
