So with amd cpu you can save your money for a better graphics card.

I am also not a fan of it including in the "devtools" languages like Go and R but no Rust...
I might be misinformed but, even though Rust is younger, it already has a bigger community than R.
Just a side note...

Based on TIOBE Index, R is more popular, even than Go...
on rust.. our local rust fan just assured me we do provide rust in the "rust-basic" bundle! It's not a rich set of preprovided libs/etc yet (basic) but still...

1. No, Clear Linux is not intended to be your primary desktop distro. It's intended for uses case like cloud and containers.
For example: Let's make it simple for everybody to build this Sphinx documentation. How to do it? Construct a light container, put in it Python and Sphinx and build the documentation.
Everybody will have a stable and reproducible way of creating this documentation.
2. It is directly competing with "Alpine Linux" which is an in-memory Linux also intended for cloud and containers. It's interesting how they compete performance wise(because of the performance claim).

We're close to having this working/available; we call it a "mixer" because it allows you to remix the OS with your own extra content, but also to tweak bundle content etc. It's aimed at the cloud space where a sysadmin is willing to go through the effort like this for multiple computers; it's not too useful for single computer use to be honest.

Think of Yocto like a grocery store; you can buy great ingredients and make your own great meal.
Clear Linux/Bundles are more like a restaurant; you can quickly build a meal from selecting higher level components

so we also integrate with Docker (https://clearlinux.org/blogs/clear-c...-docker-engine).
A VM is generally seen more secure as a pure native container (sharing kernels comes with limits after all). But docker isnt' an OS, it's a great tool to solve the logistics of deploying apps on top of an OS. So yes Clear Linux OS comes with Docker as well, and Clear Containers can be used as a backend for Docker
