TIL there was a clear linux.
Its approach to the
/etcdir was great. I haven’t used it but read the documentation. Basically, all software come with default config files in/usr/lib/configor some directory like that. You create a config file in/etconly if you want to override some defaults, and if you want to reset all configuration you simply delete all files in/etc. I think it is a great system. Removes the clutter from among the user created config files and enables one to make anetc-filesrepo and keep track of system configuration via git, just like people do with their dot files and user configuration. But other than that, I had no reason to try it.Is that not the standard unix approach? Freebsd has /etc for OS, /usr/local/etc for installed apps, with config from a similar directory
even in a fresh install, my
/etcdirectory is full of config files that I haven’t created. in clear linux, it starts completely empty.
I know Clear Linux was Intel’s project but what has AMD to do with it?
It’s a long bow to draw, but you could argue that AMD contributed to killing Clear Linux by taking back a lot of market share (particularly in the lucrative server market), forcing Intel to make big budget cuts, which included Clear Linux.
In reality, Intel’s problems are largely self-inflicted. However, I don’t think they’d be in as much trouble as they are if AMD wasn’t also in such a strong competitive position.
Amd definitely contributed to killing Clear Linux. Intel was contributing performance improvements to the kernal that also improved AMD. AMD spent no money on Linux kernal development and got Intel’s performance boost for free.
It was basically a distro optimized for Intel processors so I think that’s all there is to it
Yeah, I know this meme wasn’t going to be too funny, but I thought to post it anyway. I have a meme stash and now I’m scraping the bottom of the barrel.
The optimizations also helped AMD.
Maybe AMD CPUs move further ahead as Intel loses optimisations on Linux
