As I’m sure you will now be aware, Clear Linux will no longer be developed moving forward. I’ve been told that this forum is paid up through the end of this month, but will likely not be online beyond that point.
If there are any last messages you want to post or contact information you’d like to preserve from DMs, please use the remain days to do so. After that, Clear Linux OS Forum - Forum for Clear Linux OS developers & users will be the place to go…

Sorry to see the forum go…
Archive_org can’t always properly archive dynamically created content like discourse forums.

Hello everyone,
As one of the longest-standing and most active members of this community, I want to take a moment to share my thoughts on the upcoming closure of the forum and the future of Clear Linux.
Over the past 6+ years, I (and many others here) have invested significant time, passion, and effort into building this vibrant community and contributing to Clear Linux’s development and success. The abrupt announcement of both the project’s shutdown and this forum’s closure within a very compressed timeline, right in the middle of summer holidays, has left many of us scrambling for answers.
I have made offers to help with infrastructure solutions like CI/CD setups, but the current situation limits our ability to contribute meaningfully. Moreover, limiting or even revoking developer access on the GitHub repository and the silence from key figures like Arjan have only deepened concerns about transparency and whether the community’s voice will be heard.
This forum has been invaluable for collaboration, knowledge sharing, and community building. Closing it so quickly removes the space for constructive discussion, planning, and potential community-led initiatives to preserve Clear Linux’s legacy.
I urge Intel and the current maintainers to reconsider the timeline for the forum closure and to provide a clear, transparent plan regarding:
The future of the Clear Linux codebase. Will it remain accessible and open to community input?
The status and transfer of the Clear Linux trademark (if any), domain and code
Community handover
For all of us who care about Clear Linux, it’s vital that this transition be handled with transparency and time for the community’s input. If the current path is irreversible, then at least leaving the forum open for a reasonable period would allow us to organize, share knowledge, and hopefully prepare alternative paths such as forks or successor projects.
Thank you all for your dedication and contributions. Let’s do what we can to preserve the spirit and innovations of Clear Linux, no matter what comes next !
As of now, there are no plans for the Discord to go anywhere - it is community managed (including former Clear Linux devs) and can stay that way, if there’s interest for it to remain.
So sad ! This was a good idea …
We will go for Discord then… to stay connected and plan our next move(s) 
FYI - Looks like the forum will be shutdown sometime on August 8th.
Last days… I’m sure it feels unreal to many.
It might be sudo reboot rather than sudo rm -rf /. ChatGPT 5 was launched yesterday (Aug. 7).
Even at the finish line, Clear’s Forum is outlasting the very servers it runs on…
… optimizing uptime to the last nanosecond.
Clear Linux : optimized for uptime, even in the afterlife!
It’s been a pleasure, all. See you around.
