Intel's Clear Linux Distribution Offers Fast Out-Of-The-Box Performance (phoronix.com)

An anonymous reader writes: In a 10-way Linux distribution battle including OpenSUSE, Debian, Ubuntu, Fedora, and others, one of the fastest out-of-the-box performers was a surprising contender: Intel's Clear Linux Project that's still in its infancy. Clear Linux ships in an optimized form for delivering best performance on x86 hardware with enabling many compiler optimizations by default, highly-tuned software bundles, function multi-versioning for the most performant code functions based upon CPU, AutoFDO for automated feedback-direct optimizations and other performance-driven features. Clear Linux is a rolling-release-inspired distribution that issues new versions a few times a day and is up to version 5700.

Having started programming before a lot of you were born, I'd say that's called management too cheap to hire a testing group, and the programmers are trying something out, see if it works for them, and pushing it out.
In other words, sounds like M$ std. development system....
