    Assuming that you aren't trolling...

    Arch packages tend to be compiled with every option enabled and they bring in a ton of dependencies they don't "need" = bloat

    Performance would be about the same as Manjaro.

    Clear Linux has too much churn in their releases. In the corporate space, it is seen as a great atomic OS for container images where CD processes are prevalent, but nothing that would used on bare metal let alone VM's in the company network.

    Well it lost to 18.04 a lot of the time, I doubt that 18.04 was compiled with more i9 optimisations

    The heading is clear and accurate as one Distro did win 67% of the time.
    clickbait doesn't have to be false, just has to bait you into going to the article because the wording made it sound interesting. It's just as easy for the headline to say "Clear Linux wins 67%" of the time but that doesn't attract as many clicks because everyone expects Clear Linux to come ahead as it has in every other benchmark article.

    From their site it looks like it's designed to be small (like Rancher OS or Alpine)?
    It is used by at least a number of some data centers / cloud, IoT, and other environments but exactly where it's used doesn't seem to be widely published.
