So I installed it in a VM, started it up, and it's fast, very, very fast. With 4gb of Ram and 4 cores it runs like hell. Then again, it doesn't seem to ship... anything. No package-manager, for example. It seems like a LFS that's lacking almost everything except for flatpak-support. Even installing quite simple, basic stuff like a browser seems to be quite the hassle. So while the achieved speed of the system is impressive, it also comes at the expense of most of the features a well thought-through OS delivers. I also wonder if those "fastest OS" claims are correct when compared to a comparably set-up Gentoo Linux - you know, with the same flags used and the same minimal approach. The Phoronix-source for example compares to "Fedora, openSUSE, Manjaro, Debian, and Ubuntu" - but those distros ship WAY more stuff than Clear Linux. Maybe I actually will set up a similar Gentoo Linux and see if it holds up... will take time though. --Leo Navis (talk) 16:14, 25 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]
