- entropicdrifter 6y agoIsn't Clear Linux an Intel project? Kinda defeats the purpose if you're trying to reduce the influence of one corporation by replacing it with an even bigger, more monopolistic one
- fractal618 6y agoIt's open source. In a way the linux/GNU initiative has won, because they finally have hardware manufacturers and large companies developing source code in an open way.
- Shared404 6y agoWhy would they switch to Clear Linux? They already have a Debian edition for those who don't want an Ubuntu base. I personally don't see the issue with using Ubuntu as a base, _if_ you remove all of the offensive bits. iirc one of the Pop!_OS dev's was asked if they were going to rebase on Debian. The response was something akin to "We already change everything on the end user facing side, so there's not really a need."
- pyrophane 6y agoWhat's been fantastic about it? I'm genuinely interested. My only real familiarity with Clear is that I see it dominating those Phoronix benchmarks, but I didn't know it was a complete end-user distro.
- fractal618 6y agoI've been using it for a few days now, and it's solid. My personal laptop is getting older, so it's hard to comment on perfomance, but i was able to install a steam video game "path of exile without touching the terminal or file manager.
