Clear Linux With Mesa 13 Is A Strong Match For Intel Linux Performance

First up is the ETLegacy continuing open-source game project working to advance the open-source Enemy Territory Wolfenstein code-base. Ubuntu 16.10 and Antergos 16.11 with Xfce were the slowest while Clear Linux 11920 was the fastest. Even when Ubuntu 16.10 had Mesa 13.1-dev it came in at just over 60 FPS while Clear Linux managed to deliver a 67 FPS average.

Slightly lower frame-times with OpenArena when using Clear Linux.

Unigine Heaven is rather crippled by Intel Skylake HD Graphics hardware, but here it shows Clear Linux having a tiny lead over the other distributions. Fedora 25 when using Wayland where Unigine Heaven is piped through XWayland led to a significant performance penalty.

With Xonotic, Clear Linux maintained a significant lead and was 26% faster than the second fastest distribution, the Arch-based rolling-release Antergos Linux.
