[Clear Linux](https://clearlinux.org/) is Intel's vanity Linux distribution optimized for their hardware. There are 3 primary flavors: - A developer-focused desktop (4.2GB) - A "lightweight" text-based server (1.4GB) - For containers (no independent download available, must be obtained through one of the image libraries) I wouldn't recommend running it on a non-Intel CPU. It supports Docker, Kubernetes, and [Kata](https://katacontainers.io/). The latter of which which appears to be another Intel-sponsored project. # Notability There are some interesting Intel-specific optimizations and build processes, but it is mostly notable because [[Ikey Doherty]] worked for Intel on it during his multi-year hiatus from [[Solus]]. # History Intel introduced Clear Linux in 2015.
