I'm in the GUI with Nvidia driver loaded. For a minute I thought it switched over to my Fedora system. I guess gdm is gdm.

You are (sincerely) such an interesting person! I can't tell if you legitimately think there is a conspiracy or if you're just having a go at us and trying to stir us all up.
Personally I don't think Intel is trying to sabotage Linux, if so they would largely ignore the platform or make it difficult to use their hardware with it (binary blobs, etc.). They appear to be investing heavily in Linux - Clear Linux's performance improvements are tangible. They are very active contributors to Mesa, and their new GPUs will (most likely) have excellent Linux support from day 1. I know that you loathe Gnome and especially Wayland, but just because a company is investing in those technologies does not mean they're actively trying to sabotage Linux.
I asked you before in another thread - but you never answered. Why does it bother you so much when other user's choose to use a DE like Gnome? It seems almost personal for you. Xorg + XFCE will still be around 10+ years from now - they're not going anywhere!

The way their bundles are setup, that command pulls down a whole desktop plus anything that PTS commonly benchmarks. Hadn't known you were just battling NVIDIA driver issues but rather thought you were unsure how to install a desktop.

1) native Chromium + VAAPI build (LTO, PGO, + other possible Clear Linux optimizations)
2) everything media related should just work (preferably out of the box, or make it super easy to get the needed packages if there are legal issues preventing that)
3) As Ikey works for them again, is any more work on Steam integration incoming? His repo hasn't been updated for a while. Gaming is a big driver for new desktop users and that suits Clear LInux performance oriented approach very well. Any work which furthers the gaming experience on Linux is very welcome.
4) Nice to have: An easy way to build the kernel and other performance sensitive packages from source (with Clear Linux patches applied) and let me specify my own custom compiler flags plus keeping these packages up-to-date.
5) Offer several architecture-dependant builds for popular CPUs (next to the generic build and also for AMDs Ryzen+).
There's a point at which you just have to be thankful for the (puhlenty) that you already got here.

Way to look a gift horse in the mouth. Intel is not a charity. Be thankful they're moving Linux forward significantly without asking them literally to hurt themselves by supporting architectures they don't sell. Like Arm. Or AMD. As per Phoronix AMD does well enough piggy-backing on Clear Linux anyway where Clear Linux beats other distros on AMD chips too.

Of course they are not a charity and this measure would be a nice gesture to the community and is not a hard requirement for my praise what they already did. But to provide you with a different perspective, it actually depends on their goals. I doubt that they see Clear Linux as a means to sell more CPUs to desktop consumers. At least not yet, as the market share of Linux on the desktop is negligable today. If they wanted to get a foothold into the OS arena and partner with other Linux friendly companies to further the Linux desktop market share, there could be even an incentive for them that it runs well on all x86 platforms, not just their own. AMD is furthering their X86 dominance after all in the data center and also in the desktop space on Windows. But if Windows struggles (and technologically it does), this could change if people find ARM/Linux combination more attractive. By the way, Intel was always the frontrunner in its ecosystem who did the low-level software work in the kernel, compilers, libraries etc. which also benefited AMD. Hence that piggy-backing was always there and always will be, and to a certain degree it is to the benefit of both (albeit more significant for AMD).
