Knowing which projects/languages/frameworks to invest time into and which to skip (even if they produce useful subprojects) is a superpower these days.

As soon as I saw it was a project by Intel I rolled my eyes and ignored it.

I mean, Clear Linux was the leader in the vast majority of Linux benchmarks, to my knowledge. So much so that even AMD used it in their advertised benchmarks for CPU releases because of the performance advantage.

I think it was quite successful, and I doubt they are shuttering it because they don't see the value in it, but because of overall lackluster company performance and the new CEO cutting costs/the workforce aggressively.

Was it the distro that was booting in couple of seconds or ms from what I recall?

It being a Linux distro, I wonder how soon a viable fork will appear.
