    What is clear doing that is unique and what are the trade offs?

    Why isn’t this mainstreamed into other distros?

      Clear Linux was maintained by Intel and specifically tuned to Intel hardware. The speed enhancement it has over other distros is only possible on a very limited set of hardware.

        Interesting - is that kernel level thing? Could other distros use that on the right hardware or is too much to maintain multiple kernels that are that hardware specific?
