Clear Linux Reviews and details

• Possibly at the end of my Linux journey - nothing works correctly

  If you're still having trouble, maybe give another distribution a spin, I actually recommend Intel's Clear Linux (they developed your CPU ;) ) and installing the workstation spin of it. It's very performant. It differs from traditional distributions but is probably a good way to get into learning about containers, running everything sandboxed as a flatpak etc : https://clearlinux.org/.

• One simple criteria:

  SerpentOS (and SolusOS, which is rebasing on SerpentOS) and Intel's Clear Linux are exploring other new technologies that anticipate the emerging Linux direction. Clear Linux is server-oriented, not desktop oriented. SerpentOS is not yet even in Beta. Source: 11 months ago

• Building Rustdesk Docker image

  Yes, I need to deploy/install Rustdesk on my computer. Given that I currently rock a rather exotic distro (no, I am not willing to switch), the only promising venue seems to be installing Rustdesk atop Docker--as a Docker container, that is. Source: 12 months ago

• Alpine Linux 3.18.0 Released

  Link for anyone interested in Clear Linux: https://clearlinux.org/ Had heard of Alpine and used it plenty for containers, yet hadn't heard of Clear Linux before. Nowadays I just use Ubuntu for my container images (due to the same environment as my dev machine which simplifies things for me), but there's also a lot of benefit and elegance in more lightweight alternatives. - Source: Hacker News / almost 1 year ago

• Arch and Gentoo - Best Surface Feature Support?

  Clear Linux - I really wanted to get this working because of the optimizations the Intel builds into their distro. I was able to install the latest desktop version, and as long as I used an external USB keyboard and mouse, I was able to use the system. However, I was never able to figure out how to properly build the patched kernel to support the Surface devices. If anyone wants to play around with Clear and their... Source: about 1 year ago

• Wish me luck, hopefully I won’t need it.

  Intel's a big contributor to the Linux community/ecosystem. They even have their own Linux distro which is great if you don't mind a stateless OS/system (i.e., complete separation of the system config, the per-system config, and the user config/data). Great support for most all their hardware/chipsets. Runs beautifully on an i3 NUC system. Source: about 1 year ago

• GNOME Remote Desktop

  Did anyone manage to make GNOME Remote Desktop/GNOME Connections work? I did everything by the book, and I just can't get it to work. I have two Clear Linux computers connected to the same home router, and both of them have "Sharing" and "Remote Login" set to "On," yet connecting using the "VNC" option in GNOME Connections leads to a blank screen.

• Suggest container Linux distro go to deploy Kubernetes on a Bare Metal Server

  How about ClearLinux. It's a Linux distro addressing performance and security, It's a certified Kubernetes distribution and you can find the official document here. Source: about 1 year ago

• Does it make sense to try to install / maintain a gentoo system in a vm for learning more about Linux?

  Gentoo could provide a different perspective on how a Linux system can work compared to Arch, but if you’re going for different, then something like NixOS, Clear Linux, Fedora Silverblue, Ubuntu Core, or the aforementioned Buildroot is arguably going to be better because they provide more strongly differentiated perspectives compared to Arch.

• Linux distro for better battery

  Don't expect huge gains in battery life. For Intel hardware check out https://clearlinux.org/. Source: over 1 year ago

• The journey of a distrohopper (pros and cons of the ones I've tried)

  Clear Linux - Intel's Linux distro(works well on AMD, too). Pros: x86-optimized kernel, relatively small footprint, noticeably faster in every regard. Cons: Not always easy to find compiled apps for it(may have gotten better). Source: over 1 year ago

• Will intel arc gpus perform well on linux even with rebar off?

  Intel has it's own distro, so I wouldn't be surprised if their GPUs get as much love in Linux as anything else they make. Source: over 1 year ago

• I'm looking into getting a laptop to install Linux on. I've used mostly Macs for the last 17 years. What's a good reliable and fairly priced one to get?

  I like Clear Linux OS on an older ThinkPad like X201 or X220/X250. I have it on a T440p, but it doesn't sleep and wake up properly. Source: over 1 year ago

• What computer do you have and what OS do you use? Why?

  I have a gaggle of old ThinkPads most of which run Clear Linux OS. Because it's the fastest OS for amd64 architecture machines. Source: over 1 year ago

• Why Starting Python on a Fresh EC2 Instance Takes Over a Minute

  In any case, according to EC2 boot time benchmarking, some of which we independently verified, Clear Linux is the clear winner here. This is borne out in practice: reducing the “wait until ssh” time from 10 seconds to a couple when connecting to a close region, and from 30 seconds to 5 seconds when connecting across the Atlantic. - Source: dev.to / almost 2 years ago

• Is clear linux LXC possible?

  Hi, I just want to try clear linux like LXC container, I can not find one on proxmox template section; I am wondering if it is possible to create a LXC template of this distro? Do you have any guide I can follow to create this? thx. Source: almost 2 years ago

• Great News ! Unreal Engine developers confirmed to be working on resolving shader compilation stutter for pc games

  The thing is you can have it on the CPU side with linux if you wanted, there's distributions like gentoo where you can compile everything down to your specific CPU architecture or intel has Clear linux tuned for their hardware (which apparently AMD recommends too). Source: almost 2 years ago

• What distro to try next(suggestions)?

  Give Clearlinux a try. Especially optimized for intel but works great on amd as well. Really quick and very stable. https://clearlinux.org/. Source: about 2 years ago

• A good distro for gaming (mainly minecraft) and overall max performance for a low end laptop

  You might wanna try Clear Linux if performance is your goal. Hands down the best I have ever used for performance. You might wanna run compatibility-check before installing it though. Source: about 2 years ago

• Im new, what can I say...

  If performance is your number one priority you should be using Clear Linux over Arch. Source: about 2 years ago
