Clear Linux OS Terminated as Intel Trims the Fat

GERMANY, JUL 21 – Intel ends Clear Linux OS after 10 years amid restructuring and cost cuts, leaving the repository in read-only mode and urging rapid user migration, officials said.

  • In a sudden move, Intel terminated its decade-long Linux project, marking the end of Clear Linux OS maintenance.
  • Under Lip-Bu Tan's leadership, Intel acknowledged a downturn, and cuts and layoffs made the Clear Linux OS project expendable.
  • The repository is now read-only, requiring a fork, and users are instructed to migrate immediately as support ceases.
  • Community members voiced frustration at the abrupt cutoff, while Intel expressed gratitude with a heartfelt thank you.
  • Despite ending Clear Linux, Intel pledged continued optimizations for other distributions, while maintaining contributions to the Linux kernel.
