Strange distro

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]

Okay it does seem to have something like or similar to a package manager, swupd. Fascinating concept all in all for sure Leo Navis (talk) 05:48, 26 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]

SDDM / LightDM

Those are not Enviroments but merely Login-Managers. Should they really be covered under "UI"? --Leo Navis (talk) 08:37, 20 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]

I added GDM as default Login-Manager, I think it's alright this way. --Leo Navis (talk) 10:34, 20 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Features

That section of the article looks really bad. I think we should try and make it a running text integrating the quotes. --Leo Navis (talk) 11:25, 25 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]

This would be a first try. User:Leo Navis/Clear Linux Features

I did throw out a lot, because... well the state the article is in now, it kinda reads like a commercial, emphasizing concepts that are quite common and quoting what I think are actual advertisements for the distribution. I kept in what I thought was worthy. Would be swell if someone took a look. --Leo Navis (talk) 14:30, 29 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]
