tl;Dr? Why do I have to load 12 pages to read this?
There’s a dropdown at the bottom of the first page, where you can just chose to go to the Summary page
Thanks
Interesting never heard of Clear Linux

Sounds like it’s partly Intel-developed for Intel hardware so I suppose no surprise there. Not supposed to be a daily desktop OS though, apparently
Theoretically, Gentoo should be the most optimized, but they probably didn’t want to take the time to install it.
What makes you say that Gentoo is the most optimised?
It should, with careful and precise setup (all needed modules built into the kernel, everything locally compiled, USE flags for all packages carefully chosen to eliminate unnecessary dependencies), be the most targeted for the specific hardware it’s running on and the specific workload it’s doing—in other words, it would be carrying less cruft around. Fewer libraries to import, fewer branches to check during code execution.
In other words, execution time should be a bit better in return for spending more setup time. Benchmarks like this tend to only measure execution time.
