Compile Fast Code, Fast  Always moving with the latest compiler (llvm, currently GCC 9), optimized for Intel Architecture, giving access to the latest features. Constantly applying compiler flags to optimize builds. Multi-build approach to allow for all CPU optimizations, including AVX512. |
No Optimizations Left on the Table  Fully validated and carefully tested distro that moves in lock-step with the upstream. Includes Intel HW enabling commits for the best on IA performance. Kernel-driven performance. Latest libraries with optimizations for best-in-class runtimes. |

Streamlined Development Tools and Workflows  Powerful repair systems for development makes getting back to a known good state effortless for developers. Eg. Stateless, swupd verify--fix. Efficient debug system (FUSE) dynamically pulls debug info throughout a debug session, allowing developers to save context switching while debugging. |
Curated Content for  Multiple desktop options with GNOME as default to allow for the ability to combine (as much or as little) different desktop tools as desired. Leverage open source, cross-platform technologies that are well known in the Linux community to maintain familiarity. Provide content curated for developer use cases. Eg: `c-basic` for developing in C, `containers-basic` for container. |
