## An anonymous reader quotes TechRadar:

Intel’s Clear Linux distribution looks like [it could be the best operating system to run on cheap AMD hardware](https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/technology/intel-clear-linux-is-a-distro-that-outperforms-windows-10-and-ubuntu%E2%80%A6-on-cheap-amd-hardware/ar-BBZKuUt), with benchmarks showing it outperforms Windows 10 and Ubuntu on a $199 laptop with a budget AMD Ryzen 3200U processor.

The Phoronix website ran a series of benchmarks on a super-cheap AMD laptop from Walmart, and found that [Intel Clear Linux beat popular Linux distros Fedora and Ubuntu](https://www.phoronix.com/scan.php?page=article&item=clear-199-laptop&num=1) for 78% of the tests.

> _Not only is it remarkable that a relatively unknown Linux distro is so easily outperforming established operating systems, the fact that Intel is the company behind the distro is particularly ironic._

- As you can imagine, Clear Linux is optimized for Intel processors, but it seems like it works brilliantly on AMD hardware as well.
