      It’s a long bow to draw, but you could argue that AMD contributed to killing Clear Linux by taking back a lot of market share (particularly in the lucrative server market), forcing Intel to make big budget cuts, which included Clear Linux.

      In reality, Intel’s problems are largely self-inflicted. However, I don’t think they’d be in as much trouble as they are if AMD wasn’t also in such a strong competitive position.

        Amd definitely contributed to killing Clear Linux. Intel was contributing performance improvements to the kernal that also improved AMD. AMD spent no money on Linux kernal development and got Intel’s performance boost for free.

      It was basically a distro optimized for Intel processors so I think that’s all there is to it

        Yeah, I know this meme wasn’t going to be too funny, but I thought to post it anyway. I have a meme stash and now I’m scraping the bottom of the barrel.
