I trust Debian and other communities to provide me with an mostly working OS with updates and upgrades. That is way better than what Intel was able to provide.

You know, I actually completely agree with this. And I imagine that Intel would too.

Indeed, they explicitly said to not use Clear for production purposes, and their track record is replete with examples of failing to achieve "a mostly working OS with updates and upgrades".

...Which goes back to my point about placing "trust" in something that never demonstrated (or even claimed) it could be trusted.
