Open Source

A modular, cross-architecture, open source OS providing users the ability to differentiate.

Stateless

Designed so that the user is able to quickly and easily manage their custom configuration vs. system configuration.

Built for Customization

> 4,000 complete packages available.

Dependency with verified updates

Whole system updates with all update dependencies verified at build time.

Intel Optimized

Highly tuned for Intel platforms where all optimization is turned on by default.

Close to upstream

Clear Linux stays in lockstep with upstream, always staying on the latest version of the kernel and compilers. Daily security mitigations deliver available security updates to customers rapidly.

“Clear Linux does have available all of my needed packages/bundles for my production workflow including GNOME Shell and its programs like GNOME Terminal and Gedit, gFTP, Mozilla Firefox, Mozilla Thunderbird, GIMP, Pidgin, and LibreOffice. On the developer toolchain front, Clear Linux certainly has effectively all use-cases covered from traditional C/C++ development to quickly deploying LAMP stacks to Nodejs to all the other modern programming language support and countless cloud/container options. Personally I use a GNOME Shell environment very close to the stock configuration without any extensions, so Clear Linux's defaults were all in good standing and GNOME Tweaks is available for the little bit of tweaking I do to the configuration.”

Kata Containers*	Project ACRN*
Kata Containers is an open source project which utilizes lightweight VMs, offering the speed of containers and the security of VMs. Clear Linux supports seamless integration of Kata Containers for any OS version above 23380. Leverage the speed & security Kata Containers provide with the performance Clear Linux delivers.	Project ACRN is a flexible, lightweight reference hypervisor built with real-time and safety-criticality in mind, optimized to streamline embedded development through an open source project. The Clear Linux OS is Project ACRN’s default Service OS, providing the performance power for the lightweight hypervisor.

Kubernetes*	MontaVista*
Kubernetes is a leading container orchestration solution that enables users to increase agility, scalability, and resource efficiency while achieving portability and resiliency. Intel’s early contributions to Kubernetes helped extend its capabilities by shaping the architecture and requirements for device plug-ins and address limitations for high-bandwidth, low-latency workloads and networking applications. Today, we’re continuing to collaborate across the Kubernetes community and ecosystem to deliver best-fit performance and security for cloud-native workloads and ease the developer experience. We’ve created the Clear Linux Cloud Native example.	Clear Linux is proud to announce that MontaVista Software will be our first partner in providing commercial support for the Clear Linux OS. MontaVista has been a leader in the embedded Linux commercialization business for nearly two decades. Learn more about our partnership here.
