Thoughts on Clear Linux

[Guest]

Considering the OS is backed by Intel, it's surprising how few I've heard of it or can find about it. Is it not an OS for consumers/gamers? Does steam even work?

It does, and Clear has been shown to often have better graphics performance than other distributions. It's not really a newbie friendly distribution though and many of the performance benefits depend on having Intel hardware.

Does an amd system work well? Cpu/gpu?

It works with an AMD cpu but again you'll have almost none of the benefits. The GPU you use is irrelevant.

not necessarily, AMD actually benefits from ClearOS.

I did say almost as you can see in those tests it just trades blows with other distributions.
