Do people really benchmark linux distros? What the fuck are the benchmarking? How many terminal windows and anime pictures you can have open at one time?
Dominic Martinez
just install gentoo instead
Jeremiah Perez
>Do people really benchmark linux distros?
yes because they want to weed out amateur distros made by uneducated weebs therefore it's no surprise Ubuntu and Clear Linux won.
this is what happens whenever actual competent people get involved in muh open sores.

It's Intel's distro, so take that as you will.

No distros I use are benchmarked. Worthless test.

Can you trust it?
Joshua Martinez
Surprised how slow CentOS is in some tests.
Evan Parker
Ubuntu is very close in performance to Clear Linux actually.
Dominic Davis
I've seen it just second to Clear Linux in most other tests though, it surprised me too. Normally it's the top
Kevin Bell
Can SELinux slowdown some tests?
Jaxson Torres
I don't think so, it may affect the launch time for bash but once the binary I'd running I don't see it being used. I don't know much about SELinux though, but supposedly it justs tunes better permissions

OH NO NO NO

It's basically a proof of concept optimization demo by Intel for latest Intel processors only. When you look at the phoronix benchmarks you can basically divide the results into two categories: 1) Those that clear linux leads by few % are due to it using readily available optimizations that are just not used by the other tested distros. I believe LTO and march= are still the biggest hitters in this area. You can enable these with ease on gentoo as well. 2) Those benchmarks that clear linux leads by massive 100%+ are due to bad phoronix test methods testing different things on different distros and/or Intel applying agressive performance patches that are not yet release ready by upstream (but will come to other distros eventually) making the benchmarking rather null as the work done is, again, not same on the different tested distros

You use Ubuntu? Gross. I prefer Gentoo or Arch.
Matthew Nelson
OMG do you even know what a job is? This is for sysadmins to monitor the machines they're in charge of, not sending telemetry to Intel, FUCKTARD

I didn't see Arch or Gentoo on that graph, explain.

I'd almost assure you that Arch or Gentoo would be faster.
Zachary Adams
Go shill your meme-distro elsewhere. The way you have been talking in this thread and the buzzwords you use remind me of the baiting and shilling back when I still browsed Jow Forums. It just feels out of place here.
Ian Taylor

nice comeback, Neo
this is my 2nd post in this thread. the way you talk reminds me of my paranoid schizophrenic neighbor.

Reviewers can't install arch let alone gen2

Clear Linux really is slightly faster than most other distributions. Gentoo was very popular for a time (not so much these days) because you could compile with flags optimized for your CPUs instructions. Clear Linux uses GCCs multi-versioning feature to compile binaries optimized for multiple paths depending on available instructions. They also do various optimizations with the kernel configuration and apply quite a few patches too. The patches and configuration they use is here,
github.com
You can get the same result by compiling Gentoo with -march=native and a similar kernel configuration.
It's primarily optimized for Intel CPUs but binaries don't care and take advantage of additional instructions on AMD CPUs too.
One interesting tidbit to take notice of is that GCC's actually had function multi-versioning (the secret to much of Clear Linux's performance improvements) since version 6. That kind of begs the question as to why Ubuntu, Fedora and OpenSUSE do _NOT_ have fmv binaries. Binaries would be a bit bigger, so there's a trade-off. And this is actually the main reason why I see Clear Linux as a good thing: If it becomes popular because it's faster then perhaps the rest will get a clue and support it.
Blake Nguyen
>Arch, and Gentoo
>Faster
Those distributions aren't known, or even used, because of how fast they are. Gentoo users don't use Gentoo for speed.
Before Clear OS, debian testing would usually be the fastest at most benchmarks, but people would still use other distros.
Logan Jackson
It's a tech demonstrator. Not meant for desktop/productive use.
Kayden Watson
>crushes
it's 5-10% better in most benchmarks at best. See Phoronix's benchmarks.
I'd probably use it for servers but they don't distribute ISOs on the website, only IMGs.
Mason Jones
>That kind of begs the question as to why Ubuntu, Fedora and OpenSUSE do _NOT_ have fmv binaries
not only the binaries get bigger, but they probably take a lot more time to compile, and that's a pretty big trade-off for distros compiling hundreds (if not thousands) of packages
Hunter Miller
I really like this
it's minimalist but without being retarded about it
10/10
Carson Campbell
it's disabled by defualt in the installer and they dont even ask you to enable it
Nathaniel Mitchell
I can tell you this: I started using Gentoo back in 2003 mostly because it was faster - but also because it got ebuilds for newer versions of packages a lot faster (since it's trivial to change an ebuild and distribute it). Speed was of importance. Being able to compile with -Os was particularly helpful (smaller binaries helps on slower spinning harddrives). But you do have a point, there's plenty of people who use/used it for other reasons.
Not sure how that matters to the bigger distributions. They tend to have an infrastructure of build-boxes. It's not like some guy is compiling everything on his laptop. Your point does make me curious as to what kind of compilation time differences we're talking about (as well as binary size differences).
Leo Nguyen
try actually using it. The package manager (fwupd) is terrible and the repositories are bare. If I remember right, you can't even install individual packages, only package bundles.
Camden Phillips
>Not sure how that matters to the bigger distributions.
not sure either, but maybe that's one of the reasons? or they simply don't care
Lincoln Jones

Then Gentoo was the wrong choice.

It has performances gains on AMD too.

what
Bentley Reed
>unbiased CPU dispatch
because linux is literally *impossible* to compile with anything other than GCC, which means the stupid brain-dead dispatcher from their IOCC is useless here

Friendly Reminder to install Slackware Linux
>As for the relationship between Slackware Linux and the Church of the SubGenius: Patrick "The Man" Volkerding is an ordained Church minister.
Jacob Butler
I tried it a few days ago.
Pros:
- I was able to install it and run VMs in virt-manager
- it works
- its based off Redhat/CentOS
Cons:
- Intel's fancy installer instead of a regular debian-style installer
- Intel's fancy package manager instead of Yum or RPM. Not very many packages. Theoretically, you can install Yum, RPM and DNF, however I was not able to quickly figure it out.
- Very few users. It's easier to find support for NetBSD than for Clear Linux.
- I couldn't get KDE to work. It seems like Intel wants you to use Gnome.
Conclusion:
- I installed CentOS and am very happy with the results. 10/10 would install CentOS again. Only use Clear Linux if there is a specific, tangible, compelling reason why CentOS is not good enough for you.
Gabriel Robinson
They have an ISO. However I could not install it on a VM. Only a physical machine. Intel distributes a .Img for VM's but you have to use it with a qemu script that Intel provides. I was not able to run a Clear Linux VM in KVM/virt-manager with the ISO or the IMG file.

That means it's stable and you can figure out how to do things by looking up the CentOS/Redhat version.

Neat.
