It's not sensible to compare against Clear Linux, I seem to remember. Intel's version is heavily optimised for speed at the expense of other factors. I don't remember the details but I was never tempted to look at Clear because of those other factors.
Well, if you can't even hint about those other factors, you provide no useful information at all. For most people, sitting at the keyboard, speed is very very important. It decides if we have to shell out for a new machine, or hang onto existing hardware another year. As long as all the machines and Linux version were doing the same benchmarks, you don't get to handwave those results away as if they don't count. The decisions made by each distro as to what they are going to run in the background, what filesystems they are going to use do make a difference. The end user pays that price every day. -- Sent from my Android phone with K-9 Mail.
