<h2><a class="toc-backref" href="#id4" role="doc-backlink">What is Clear Linux OS?</a><a class="headerlink" href="#what-is-cl" title="Link to this heading"></a></h2>
<p>Clear Linux OS is an open source, rolling-release Linux distribution, optimized for
performance and security from the cloud to the Edge. Designed from the ground up,
Clear Linux OS provides an industry blueprint on how to incorporate Intel® architecture
features for a modern, modular Linux OS. Clear Linux OS is not based on any other Linux
distro.</p>
</section>
<section id="what-cl-isn-t">
<h2><a class="toc-backref" href="#id5" role="doc-backlink">What Clear Linux OS isnt?</a><a class="headerlink" href="#what-cl-isn-t" title="Link to this heading"></a></h2>
<p>Clear Linux OS is not intended to be a general-purpose Linux distribution, suitable
for novice end-users. While we ship common applications, our purpose isnt
to make an OS for routine desktop tasks and provide immunity from all
security threats in all situations. Our unique focus means that what we consider <em>essential</em> use cases, <em>optional</em> use cases, or even <em>unsupported</em> use cases, differs from other Linux distros. See our <a class="reference internal" href="#target-audience"><span class="std std-ref">target audience</span></a> below.</p>
</section>
<section id="is-cl-completely-open-source">
<h2><a class="toc-backref" href="#id6" role="doc-backlink">Is Clear Linux OS completely Open Source?</a><a class="headerlink" href="#is-cl-completely-open-source" title="Link to this heading"></a></h2>
<p>Clear Linux OS aims to be completely open source. Our project <a class="reference external" href="https://github.com/clearlinux">source code</a> and
<a class="reference external" href="https://github.com/clearlinux-pkgs/">packages source code</a> are available on GitHub*. When considering projects
for inclusion, we check that they are in active development and are well
maintained. We have a very strict requirement for not accepting proprietary
packages and non-open source components. For example, many Linux distros
may not be able to include certain media codecs due to
<a class="reference internal" href="FAQ/index.html#licensing-restrict"><span class="std std-ref">licensing restrictions</span></a>, but manual installation and <a class="reference external" href="https://community.clearlinux.org/t/about-the-3rd-party-sw-category/4072">third party alternatives</a> are available.</p>
</section>
<section id="who-is-the-target-audience">
<span id="target-audience"></span><h2><a class="toc-backref" href="#id7" role="doc-backlink">Who is the target audience?</a><a class="headerlink" href="#who-is-the-target-audience" title="Link to this heading"></a></h2>
<p>Clear Linux OS mainly targets professionals in IT, DevOps, Cloud/Container deployments, and <abbr title="Artificial Intelligence">AI</abbr>.</p>
<p>Rather than making a standard Linux distribution, the Clear Linux OS team decided to
build a unique Linux distro. Developing a distro in house allows us to experiment and iterate faster, which means we continually optimize performance and deliver security patches, <a class="reference internal" href="#release-cadence"><span class="std std-ref">several times per week</span></a>. Yet our experiments are only valuable if our software architecture gives you the freedom to innovate, too. To improve manageability, Clear Linux OS employs a <a class="reference internal" href="guides/clear/stateless.html#stateless"><span class="std std-ref">Stateless</span></a> design, separating user and system management.</p>
<p>We leverage the pool of knowledge and skills at Intel to drive improvements to Clear Linux OS.</p>
<p>Intel has worked with the Linux community and other distros for many years.
Understanding what it takes to integrate features in our own Linux distro
helps us collaborate with other distro owners and submit enhancements to
upstream. We demonstrate the value of our distro by offering users the same
tools we use. For example, <a class="reference internal" href="guides/clear/mixer.html#mixer"><span class="std std-ref">mixer</span></a>, a tool unique to Clear Linux OS, allows users
to build custom derivatives and act as their own <abbr title="Operating System Vendor">OSV</abbr>.</p>

<section id="how-does-cl-address-security">
<h2><a class="toc-backref" href="#id8" role="doc-backlink">How does Clear Linux OS address security?</a><a class="headerlink" href="#how-does-cl-address-security" title="Link to this heading"></a></h2>
<p>Several <a class="reference internal" href="guides/clear/security.html#security"><span class="std std-ref">security features</span></a> are designed to work
out-of-the-box, yet theyre not intended to be intrusive. We focus on
<em>essential</em> use cases and ignore <em>unwanted</em> or <em>unsupported</em> use cases.
For example, while Clear Linux OS does not enable antivirus by default, we provide a
bundle for it (<code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">clamav</span></code>). We leave antivirus configuration to our users.
In addition, firewalls are less important if the OS doesnt expose services
to the outside by default. In Clear Linux OS, we enforce this strategy by disabling
network services by default - e.g. <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">mariadb</span></code> listens on a UNIX socket;
<code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">nginx</span></code> wont listen at all; and other services similarly are restricted
from being accessed over the network. This strategy alone makes firewall
software much less urgentthere simply isnt anything that a firewall could
easily block.</p>

<section id="whats-the-thinking-around-server-vs-desktop">
<h2><a class="toc-backref" href="#id9" role="doc-backlink">Whats the thinking around Server vs. Desktop?</a><a class="headerlink" href="#whats-the-thinking-around-server-vs-desktop" title="Link to this heading"></a></h2>
<p>Clear Linux OS focuses on performance for server and cloud use-cases first because
many design decisions associated with them are applicable to other
use-cases, such as IoT and the desktop client. While our initial focus was
on the command line, we realized that many people valued the ease-of-use of
a desktop environment. Whereas in the past we tried to accommodate those
interested in a desktop version, we were forced to confront clear limits as
to how we could meet this need. Clear Linux OS minimizes the customizations and patches in support of the desktop and provides a generic GNOME implementation. Other window managers or desktops are available; however, testing in Clear Linux OS is focused on GNOME.</p>

<section id="release-cadence">
<span id="id2"></span><h3>Release Cadence<a class="headerlink" href="#release-cadence" title="Link to this heading"></a></h3>
<p>Clear Linux OS updates are based on a rolling release that can occur daily, up to a few
times per week. Each release has a unique version number that identifies
every component in the OS from kernel, to driver, to tool, to GUI
application. Most components are included in entities called <a class="reference internal" href="reference/bundles/bundles.html#bundles"><span class="std std-ref">bundles</span></a>.</p>
</section>
<section id="updates">
<h3>Updates<a class="headerlink" href="#updates" title="Link to this heading"></a></h3>
<p>By default, Clear Linux OS automatically checks for updates, ensuring the latest
performance and security fixes are installed as soon as they are available.
Clear Linux OS stays in lockstep with upstream for current security upgrades and is
designed to rapidly deliver security mitigations to customers.

<h2><a class="toc-backref" href="#id11" role="doc-backlink">Why create new components rather than modifying existing projects?</a><a class="headerlink" href="#why-create-new-components-rather-than-modifying-existing-projects" title="Link to this heading"></a></h2>
<p>One question thats often asked: “Why did you develop your own solution
instead of using &lt;XYZ&gt;?” (e.g. <a class="reference external" href="https://community.clearlinux.org/t/why-does-clearlinux-use-swupd-and-not-apt-deb-rpm/">swupd post</a>). We do evaluate existing
projects for inclusion in Clear Linux OS, yet there are cases where our unique
architecture and components would require too much customization to use
off-the-shelf projects. In other situations, we may feel that using a new
language to develop the component would give us a performance advantage,
ease code development and maintenance, and grow the skills of our engineers
on new and upcoming programming languages. And yes, sometimes there are
personal biases for and against some projects by the architects and
engineers. We tend to move fast, and sometimes its easier to live with
suboptimal choices until we have the time or incentive to re-architect them
properly.</p>
