Or consider something wholly new like Clear Linix [sic]?
Interesting timing:
It's not a good time to be at Intel. They just shut down Clear Linux OS and have announced more layoffs with Linux Maintainers having to leave their projects. This is having a big impact on Linux and Intel and users of this operating system.

Linux enthusiasts gather to hear the latest news: Intel is officially shutting down its Clear Linux distribution after ten years of development and optimizations. As many recall, Clear Linux is an Intel-optimized Linux distribution that serves as a high-performance, optimized OS designed to extract every last ounce of performance from Intel hardware, especially Intel Xeons.

After years of innovation and community collaboration, we're ending support for Clear Linux OS. Effective immediately, Intel will no longer provide security patches, updates, or maintenance for Clear Linux OS, and the Clear Linux OS GitHub repository will be archived in read-only mode. So, if you're currently using Clear Linux OS, we strongly recommend planning your migration to another actively maintained Linux distribution as soon as possible to ensure ongoing security and stability.
Apologies for any formatting issues, had to reply in-browser as I couldn't find the thread in Thunderbird.
