Just a proposal, might be dropped

Yeah, but we won't get a choice if IBM tells Red Hat to drop x86 32bit upstream. Then fedora would have to maintain it entirely themselves, which they won't.

Fedora will be dropped

[–] Coolkat@slrpnk.net 5 points 2 weeks ago

Haha yeah that's linux, it might just have fed up some people

[–] bhamlin@lemmy.world 2 points 2 weeks ago

Honestly, fedora is pathologically open source. I admire their mission, but it's difficult to use with the pathologically closed source world of gaming and related hardware. It'll be for the best I think.

This is why it’s a proposal, and why I filed it more than 6 months earlier than strictly required.

But just to clarify - we will need to drop support for 32-bit x86 at some point. It’s dead, and more and more software just doesn’t support being built and / or run in 32-bit environments at all.
