I figure that I could get the best response here to a simple question considering the level of Lin-Fu present on this forum from what I have seen.
With many of us Windows Users leaving Kaby Lake/Coffee Lake platforms behind as our daily drivers for new AMD Zen2 platforms, could Clear Linux provide the Intel Optimized environment that on paper anyways, looks like an upgrade from Windows platforms ? (along with beating up on most other distros in the process).
While I understand that Clear Linux is a swear-word in some circles, thanks to Telemetry, could this front end be used to breathe a bit of life back into aging hardware rather than throwing it to either the used market or the black holes that we call our 'IT Closets' ?
Here is what I am hoping sounds reasonable....
Clear Linux on a headless box that sits on my network and does nothing but rip and process/transcode my BluRay rips to feed my Plex Media Server, using FFMPEG as the main tool.
Can anyone comment on Clear Linux ?
Again, I don't plan to use it as a desktop, I simply want to take advantage of all of the Intel Optimizations found within.
Thanks in advance,
Allan
