ClearOS is effectively dead since they released their core maintainer in September 2022 and there have been no updates since the end of July 2022. It must be considered an insecure platform as it has a number of unpatched critical security issues and there is no one left who can do the patching and releasing. Their Domain offering no longer works with an up to date Windows despite upstream patches being available.
At the same, apparently time there has been a critical internal system failure so Clearcenter are no longer able to produce any updates even if they wanted to.

Based on CentOS, with some pretty decent additions, some paid.
The main thing to watch is what they plan to do now that IBM/RedHat has changed its model, and ClearOS must change from its current upstream provider. They have announced "version 9" and say it will be produced "in-house" but that was many months ago with no updates or details or ETA for a first look, let alone a release.
In other words, think of it as a mature (for 2020), secure server that might be good for simple applications that will only be used for a month or two, but not for long-term use, at least not until they have a clear roadmap for when we see a preview of their next version, and what their plan is for the next five or ten years.
I was hopeful for them. They have had some good people on staff and in their online community. But their current silence and lack of news or product updates suggest we use extreme caution with new installations, and give a high priority to plans for migrating to a different provider.
