Fedora proposal to drop 32-bit support has been withdrawn
There was a whole lot of discussion recently for the Fedora Linux proposal to drop 32-bit support, with the current plan being dropped.
You're viewing a single thread.
So we’re just gonna keep chugging along until 2038? Please.
No. Valve (the biggest offender) will have to make native 64-bit Steam before then, as will the remaining holdouts, so Linux distros will be able to remove 32-bit packages in a timely manner.
Removing then now will break too much to be worth doing.
I don't think Fedora users care about breakages ngl.
I am a fedora user. I care. Why wouldn't I? ...
Same. If most of my games stopped working, I would be very annoyed, especially because it was entirely preventable.
Thankfully, the Fedora project and community agree.
Yeah. I'm not saying the process went perfectly, but I think it's good they proposed this and then nixed it. Gotta do it someday though.
Because Fedora is a testing distro which gets rid of legacy stuff the first. I wouldn't recommend it if you care tbh.
I mean, I have more than one machine. Some can be closer to guinea pigs than others. In this case, it's a laptop that I don't keep anything unbacked-up on. Had Fedora on it for about 6 months and I cannot remember an update breaking anything for me so far. The previous machine I had it on was used less but I had the same experience. If you're mainly just web browsing on a machine, bleeding edge is good imo
