Intel has officially announced the cessation of development and support for its performance-optimized Clear Linux OS distribution. Over the past decade, this system has demonstrated exceptional performance on x86_64 hardware. However, in response to cost-reduction measures and staffing adjustments, the GitHub repository for Clear Linux OS will transition to read-only mode, effectively halting security patches, updates, and maintenance activities.
Intel recommends that users migrate to other actively maintained Linux distributions at their earliest convenience. The company also emphasizes its continued commitment to the Linux ecosystem, support for open-source projects, and expresses gratitude to all developers, users, and contributors for their invaluable support.
