'''Clear Linux OS'''{{efn|''Clear Linux'' was referred to in early documentation as ''Clear Linux{{tm|link=no}} OS'', later as ''Clear Linux* OS'' with a corresponding footnote acknowledging that the rights to "[Linux](/source/Linux)" may be possessed by others.<ref name="2015---01.org-clearlinux"/><ref name="2015-05-20-clearlinux.org"/> ''Clear Linux OS'' has been referred to, in the literature, as ''Clear Linux™ OS'', ''Clear Linux* OS'', ''Clear Linux OS'', ''Clear Linux*'' and ''Clear Linux''.<ref name="docs.01.org-clearlinux-image-types"/>}} is a discontinued [Linux](/source/Linux) distribution, once developed and maintained on [Intel](/source/Intel)'s 01.org [open-source](/source/open-source) platform, and optimized for Intel's microprocessors with an emphasis on performance and security.<ref name="softpedia-workflows-tailored"/><ref name="make-tech-easier"/> Its optimizations were also effective on AMD systems.<ref name="techgage-2019-linux-performance"/> Clear Linux OS followed a [rolling release](/source/rolling_release) model. Clear Linux OS was not intended to be a general-purpose Linux distribution; it was designed to be used by IT professionals for [DevOps](/source/DevOps), [AI](/source/AI) application development, [cloud computing](/source/cloud_computing), and [container](/source/containerization_(computing))s.<ref name="kata-containers"/>

== History ==
In 2015, Intel introduced ''Clear Linux OS'' at OpenStack Summit 2015, Vancouver<ref name="OpenStack Vancouver 2015"/> initially, it was limited to cloud usage.<ref name="ionos-digital-guide"/><ref name="Distro-Watch"/><!-- https://tadviser.com/index.php/Product:Intel_Clear_Linux --> Intel began the ''Clear Containers'' project to address [container](/source/containerization_(computing)) security.<ref name="Arjan-intro-ClearContainers"/><ref name="2015-09-21-01.org/clearlinux"/><ref name="clearlinux-kata-containers"/> In 2015, originally, ''Clear Linux OS'' was deployed as a single monolithic unit.<ref name="infoworld-clearlinux-coreos"/> In May 2019, Clear Linux OS released a new Desktop Installer and started a Help Forum.<ref name="clearlinux-news-installer-v20"/><ref name="heise-2020-04-30-Ausprobiert-leistungsfaehige"/>

On July 18, 2025, Intel announced the end of support ''Clear Linux OS'', effective immediately.<ref>{{Cite web |date=2025-07-18 |title=All good things come to an end: Shutting down Clear Linux OS |url=https://community.clearlinux.org/t/all-good-things-come-to-an-end-shutting-down-clear-linux-os/10716 |access-date=2025-07-20 |website=Clear Linux OS Forum |language=en |archive-date=2025-07-19 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20250719112636/https://community.clearlinux.org/t/all-good-things-come-to-an-end-shutting-down-clear-linux-os/10716 |url-status=live }}</ref><ref>{{Cite web |title=Intel Announces It's Shutting Down Clear Linux |url=https://www.phoronix.com/news/Intel-Ends-Clear-Linux |access-date=2025-07-20 |website=www.phoronix.com |language=en |archive-date=2025-07-20 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20250720004028/https://www.phoronix.com/news/Intel-Ends-Clear-Linux |url-status=live }}</ref><ref>{{Cite web |title=Intel dreht eigene Linux-Distribution von einem Tag auf den anderen ab |url=https://www.derstandard.at/story/3000000280310/intel-dreht-eigene-linux-distribution-von-einem-tag-auf-den-anderen-ab |access-date=2025-07-21 |website=DER STANDARD |language=de-AT}}</ref>

On March 1, 2026, it was reported that Intel had silently taken down the Clear Linux OS website. The archived assets relevant to the project remain available on GitHub.<ref>{{cite web |last1=Larabel |first1=Michael |title=Intel's Clear Linux Website No Longer Online - Phoronix |url=https://www.phoronix.com/news/Clear-Linux-Org-No-More |website=Phoronix |access-date=3 March 2026}}</ref>

''Clear Linux OS'' is available via [Microsoft Azure marketplace](/source/Microsoft_Azure),<ref name="itsfoss-clear-linux"/><ref name="microsoft-azure-marketplace-clearlinux"/> and [Amazon Web Services](/source/Amazon_Web_Services) marketplace.<ref name="amazon-web-services" />

== Requirements ==
Clear Linux OS supports 2nd generation [Intel Core](/source/Intel_Core) ([Sandy Bridge](/source/Sandy_Bridge)) CPUs and later, [Xeon E3](/source/Xeon_E3) and later, and [Silvermont](/source/Silvermont)-based Intel Atom C2000 and E3800 processors.<ref name="clear-linux-system-requirements"/><ref name="Ubuntu User 1"/><ref name="itsfoss-clear-linux"/> An installed system is booted via the EFI boot loader or via systemd-boot.<ref name="heise-2020-04-30-Ausprobiert-leistungsfaehige"/> Minimum system requirements are [SSE4](/source/SSE4) and [CLMUL](/source/CLMUL) ([carry-less multiplication](/source/carry-less_multiplication)), as well as [UEFI](/source/UEFI).<ref name="heise-2020-04-30-Ausprobiert-leistungsfaehige"/>

== Features ==
Clear Linux OS uses reference [stacks](/source/Solution_stack) to install images that are optimized and tested together for specific use-cases.<ref>{{cite web |title=Stacks |url=https://clearlinux.org/sw/stacks |website=Clear Linux* Project |access-date=7 September 2021 |language=en |archive-date=30 August 2021 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20210830114116/https://clearlinux.org/sw/stacks |url-status=dead }}</ref> It also utilizes a strict separation between User data and System config files, called ''stateless'', so that even a misconfigured system will still boot correctly and then perform a factory reset so it can be reconfigured.

=== Desktop ===
By default, Clear Linux OS ships with the [GNOME](/source/GNOME) desktop environment<ref name="docs_about" /> and most graphical effects are disabled. [KDE Plasma](/source/KDE_Plasma_5) and [Xfce](/source/Xfce) are also available for installation.<ref name="bundle-desktop-kde"/><ref>{{cite web |title=xfce4-desktop-bundle |url=https://clearlinux.org/software/bundle/xfce4-desktop |website=clearlinux.org |access-date=25 September 2021 |archive-date=13 June 2021 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20210613093125/https://clearlinux.org/software/bundle/xfce4-desktop |url-status=live }}</ref>

=== Package management ===
Packages are usually installed and updated through bundles with the help of <code>swupd</code>,<ref>{{cite web |title=clearlinux/swupd-client |url=https://github.com/clearlinux/swupd-client |website=github.com |access-date=29 September 2021 |archive-date=29 September 2021 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20210929142848/https://github.com/clearlinux/swupd-client |url-status=live }}</ref> which is described as an ''OS-level software update program'', using [delta update](/source/delta_update)s to minimize update size. [Flatpak](/source/Flatpak) is also preinstalled and can be used to install and use packages.

Mixer is the tool for creating 3rd-party-bundles, which can then be installed using <code>swupd</code>.<ref>{{cite web |title=swupd 3rd-party |url=https://docs.01.org/clearlinux/latest/guides/clear/swupd-3rd-party.html |website=Documentation for Clear Linux* project |publisher=docs.01.org |access-date=7 September 2021 |archive-date=30 August 2021 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20210830143408/https://docs.01.org/clearlinux/latest/guides/clear/swupd-3rd-party.html |url-status=dead }}</ref>
