From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

Rest assured that sometimes only half the text gets pasted.

Kinda sad, But tbh it was never a distro meant for home pcs,And we have stuff like CachyOS which do a similar thing for home.

Does anyone know the reasons?

Intel has been struggling overall, and lately has been letting some of its Linux engineers go. Nothing absolutely fundamental has been affected yet (AFAICT) but I guess Clear Linux didn't make the cut.

Intel fucked itself harder than a starlet riding industrial equipment equipped with a dildo.

Consequently, they are cutting almost as many corners as major construction companies do.

i remember working on Intel when this was still on the works how it had so many issues. Also worked better with AMD. Intel is been struggling a lot lately with all this

Intel was sacrificed so "AI" can live.
