>not using clear linux in 2016 >the best performance on

I think it is one of the most interesting distros to come along in a while.

It's made by intel and everything's compiled for speed. The intel backing puts it in a similar position as Fedora where professionals are maintaining it.

If they keep expanding the available packages and get listed on distrowatch, I could see it gaining traction until it is one of the popular distributions.

neat

im gonna try clear linux on my FX8320

But is it botnet?

Only when it detects amd hardware.

Are you kidding?

My computer already performs well enough.

This looks interesting. I'd like to try and boot it but I got class in the morning. How is this different than just using a high o flag in gentoo?

>>57846134
According to source codes everything is compiled with Intel's compiler and golang.

>>57846159
But is Intel's faster than GCC? I've seen benchmarks that show significant performance increases from the "-o3" cflag or whatever it is in gentoo.

I can see one big advantage is that everything is compiled already. When I read the article with those benchmarks I mentioned the first thing that came to mind was "why doesnt someone just pre-optimize binaries?"

how do I download this shit?
can't find ISO and this IMG are like 300mb

>AMD processor
But it's already slower

Already do.
It's called Solus. Ikey is a core member of clear Linux at Intel in Dublin and uses clear Linux shit on solus.
