Nice video dear TechHut, as usual! Personally, i think people who comes from Windows (that's not the topic of the video of course) like me, they will be in paradise with Mint: everything works out of the box, and most of time you don't have to touch the Terminal once. That's exactly (always in my opinion) where devs from different distributions have to focus a little bit more, because a lot of users don't wanna mess with the Terminal and don't wanna put efforts to learn it, simple because they don't and wanna focus only on productions. It's true Terminal is a crucial part of every Linux distro,and nothing can mess-up if you operations from there, where GUI sometimes can break stuffs. That's my personal experience, i wanna share with you all guys. Keep it up dear, awesome videos! /thumbsup
I love Linux Mint as well as Fedora's cinnamon spin. Those two are a tie for me as my favorite Linux distros. I find that when it comes to doing a full distro upgrade, Fedora's .rpm based tool is far faster than the Mint (Ubuntu) .deb based tool. Not sure why but .deb distros take forever in a day to update, especially on older machines (not talking about the downloads, rather once the files are all downloaded and the actual updates are being installed).
The choice of name is wrong. It shouldn't be Clear Linux but "Crazy Fast Linux" I used it for a very long time. It's rock stable. Alert:: There is no etc folder.
just installed an hour ago. seems verry fast, and everything is working right out of the box. seems to an alternative for linux mint, for people that just want a system that works.
this would be fun to make a full build with INTEL CPU, INTEL ARC GPU and this Clear Linux, with the Case and RGB color scheme of white and light blues...
Its whole purpose is to test and deploy extremely efficient Linux apps for Intel servers, but it's very cool you can almost run it as a daily driver. But, honestly, if you want to try good desktop-oriented desktop you should review the new Cutefish OS, Zorin OS, Deepin OS and elementary OS which you have already covered. Linux Mint is a classic but yeah, that one too
Why is there not a SINGLE distribution by now based on Clear Linux? Given every 5 min. a distribution is born, why NOT A SINGLE ONE based on Clear Linux? Sounds like it could be popular instantly!
I like the effort and I reckon Intel could make a pretty nice end-user desktop experience as well. It's a hard pass for me, I'm neither hardcore advanced nor a noob when it comes to Linux in general but this is just to weird :P Honestly I'd probably install vanilla arch before doing this one :P (Considering I fancy Debian based over arch...) No offence to the "I use Arch btw" people...
I mean.. compiling things for being able to install Firefox? damn.. How about its usability with Nvidia Optimus laptops, is it okay? Is it hard to run, for example, Bumblee with Nvidia? Is there any Prime switch?
I swear you are somehow reading my mind. I literally just made a live USB to check this out on an slightly older XPS laptop I inherited over the holidays.
When I last installed Clear (over a year ago), I didn't have any problem installing and using Firefox and several other "typical" Linux application installations.
I watched the whole video, but I don't remember any of it because i was too busy thinking about how you didn't start with "Hello everybody this is Techhut and..."
One other thing you should have mentioned when installing, Clear OS takes over the entire drive --- very much like every Windows install does (except 11). I was able to install Clear once within a designated partition, but I had my drive cleared first so as not to lose any any other system. They may have "fixed" this by now, it's been over a year since I last tried out Clear on a system drive.
@@mitko17 I was finally able to finally install it in a specific partition. But the instructions say specifically that it will take up an entire boot drive (just like Windows) and advise one to allow a clean/clear drive for the clear boot installation. If you don't know/understand the nuances of partitions, you can easily ruin any system installation.
The Linux file system is not a bad idea, and well organized, but the problem is that way too many developers just don't adhere to it. So really they are not doing anything new, just doing it as intended in the first place! Shame on many developers for messing shit up! You are not making art, but developing software, and there are reasons to stick to the file system rules without having to get all abstract and different, just because you can.
Does someone know if this is a good distro for a Software Engineering student? Since I'm not yet an engineer and still learning 😂 I'm not an expert on Linux at all (not a noob either, but I'll like the change my fedora)
it makes SENSE that if they separate everything properly-- that the system would be "better".... but then, I have a habit of doing that with EVERYTHING.. :). IT looks good... may try it myself.. but then, I'm liking this Amarok Linux-- with the DEBIAN base but the POP shell for tiling-- and stuff.. either that or LMDE 5 will be my DAILY DRIVER.. but I may look at clear.. sounds like it might be good.. but don't really like the idea of updates every few days.. that's a bit MUCH.
>> Did it work? Brief version is NO.

I used it for a while. With KDE it was super fast. Didn't see any linux distro being such quick in launching apps or doing stuff. There were problems however. One was that I couldn't figure out how remove password length restriction. Second was that installing small silly lib with swupd forced me to download few gigs of other things from a bundle. Third issue was with finger print reader but that worked only on Arch based distro.
Clear lost me when the system quit keeping the correct time. No idea why as I'm on NYT. I love the update system it just isn't good for the standard end user.
Clear linux provides binaries compiled for specific microarchitectures. This is like compiling packages with march=native, except you don't have to compile anything
Can you get JUST WHAT YOU WANT wtihout all the other BS in the "bundles"??? I don't like crap being forced on me-- regular linux allows me to remove some of that wastes space crap I don't need.. What about customization?? etc..

Can you run some benchmarks for gaming. I'd love to see them numbers.
It’s basically fedora with a bundle twists
It look really promising, sadly you need secure boot or it won't work for you. Linux needs performance! Clear linux is step in the right direction.
Is it possible to install only the Intel optimizations if I'm on a Debian machine?
