Designed from the ground up, Clear Linux OS provides an industry blueprint on how to incorporate Intel® architecture features for a modern, modular Linux OS. Clear Linux OS is not based on any other Linux distro. Clear Linux OS updates are based on a rolling release that can occur daily, up to a few times per week.

What is Clear Linux based on?

In more specific terms, Clear Linux is built from scratch atop the GNOME desktop environment, and it’s highly tuned for Intel platforms, with all performance optimizations enabled by default. Those optimizations occur across the entire stack: kernel, libraries, middleware layers, frameworks and runtime.

Is Clear Linux really faster?

Running the same workloads, Clear Linux performs better universally on Intel platforms and is even more efficient on AMD platforms. For users looking to get the absolute most out of their machine, particularly an Intel machine, look no further than Clear Linux.
