The Modern Operating System, A Clear Choice
summary
Clear Linux OS claims measurable wins: tuned kernels, aggressive GCC flags and runtime library selection that pick AVX2 or AVX‑512 per machine, plus optimized TensorFlow/numpy/pandas builds. Delivery is bundles not packages (client installs files from manifests), updates are file‑level delta patches via swupd with about 10 updates/week, and the system is mixer/mixin/autospec enabled so organizations can fork images and add proprietary RPMs. Features include stateless /usr vs /etc layout, opt‑in telemetry, cloud/On‑prem/edge support and ~200 curated bundles.
