Y u do dis?
:(
i bet there are millions and millions of computers on x86 still, yet they are killing it
>>58666391
Install POSReady
I would guess the number of people using it is tiny. 32bit x86 has no place anymore. Low power is ARM, cheap is ARM, legacy OS are run in virtual machines.
Just upgrade sempai
Use a distro that gives a fuck about you. Arch is made to be easy for Arch developers to maintain, not to serve the user in any way.
>>58666391
A raspberry pi would be more powerful than the machine you are using in this fucking image.
>>58666427
Don't worry they are fine running Windows XP
>>58666468
Not really
>>58666391
Enjoy no games or quality software lincuck lmao!
>>58666482
muh freedoms
>>58666468
it has work well the past 10 years
>>58666391
How did you make this Arc theme looking so good? Installed it on my XFCE distro and it looks bad. Want the same window borders as you.
t. noob
REEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE
>>58666588
ahmed, pls
you set the window theme in "Window Manager" under "Settings"
lmfao
If they seriously removed 32bit support a LOT of steam games would stop working.
>>58666588
>kali
le haxor man
>>58666619
kek. thanks
>>58666391
>>58666427
Less maintenance effort spent on 10+ year old shit. Take over maintenance yourself, install Gentoo, or do whatever else.
>>58666588
you need to set window borders and gtk theme separately anon. search the menu.
>>58666622
I hope you're serious because this dosen't effect multilib, aka the "lib32-*" packages
>>58666654
REEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE they also fuckind up xfce4-volumed and now the volume icon doesn't show
REEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE
If you're still on x86 you're a fuckin retard
>>58667021
my pentium 4 is 32 bits only
>>58666765
you probably mean xfce4-mixer, which is discontinued as gstreamer dropped the APIs it depended on. Use xfce4-pulseaudio-plugin and put it on the taskbar.
Already we can see 2 problems in this image.
>Arch
>i686
We'll always have puppy.
Welcome to Debian (sid).
>>58666391
Eh, if you have at Pentium 4 then shouldn't you be able to use x86_64?
>>58667067
About time you upgraded your shitbox then. It's literally like 12-15 years old at this point. Basic Core 2 Duo platform is dirt cheap these days, and you'd probably save on electric bills as well. Not to mention you'd have a much faster PC for ultimate shitposting experience.
>>58667093
Already we see 1 problem in this comment.
>Disowning Arch Linux
REEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE
just realized, it also includes my netbook that uses a 32 bit atom
fuckkkkkkk
>>58667427
are you retarded?
>>58667067
It's time to upgrade.
>>58666391
Debian doesn't have this problem
>>58666588
sudo rm -rf --no-preserve-root
>>58666391
>>58666391
>Deprecating obsolete hardware is somehow a bad thing
Fuck off and stop using old hardware you retard.
>>58666391
Thats the most arch thing Ive seen all year.
>>58668601
or he could install Windows XP and move along.
>>58666588
>LOGGED IN AS ROOT
Fucking hell, I still use a Pentium III laptop regularly for light web browsing, and my other laptop is a Core Duo. 32 bit computers are still useful.
>>58668614
This is even more retarded than using i686
>>58668637
not really. arch abandoned these ancient relics, xp saved them.
>>58667090
>pulseaudio
AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA
Even today they still sell multi-core Intel Atoms laptop/tablet hybrids that are x86 only.
Install Gentoo
>>58668699
could you give an example of one? out of curiosity
>>58668741
http://ark.intel.com/search/advanced?s=t&InstructionSet=32-bit
>>58668843
ok thanks, but I really meant to ask for an example of a tablet or something that included the chip, rather than the chip itself
>>58668741
Correction: the CPUs (Z3740 and Z3775) support 64-bit instructions but the manufacturer Asus only writes 32-bit UEFI BIOS
>>58668898
http://www.ebay.com/itm/Lenovo-ThinkPad-Tablet-2-Atom-Z2760-32GB-SSD-Keyboard-Cosmetic-Issue-White-Spots-/172490762782
But, in all honesty, the Atoms & Quarks are primarily used in SoC designs. You can also find some weird x86 phones like the Zenfone 2.
>>58666391
I spent like 30 seconds staring at the Pinta window border because I thought the arrows were pointing out something was wrong with it.
Why didn't you just take a screenshot and edit that image, OP?
>>58668907
>You need 64bit UEFI to run 64bit OS.
UEFI was a fucking mistake. What happened to traditionally changing the processor mode yourself?
The MBR is fucking 16bit but that doesn't stop us from switching the processor to 64bit afterwards.
>He's still using Arch
It's time to jump ship and participate in building the best GNU/Linux distribution of all time.
>>58666391
This was bound to happen sooner than later. Arch is meant to be bleeding edge, and 32 bit x86 is basically legacy bullshit.
If you're running arch on an architecture this old, you're doing it completely wrong.
>>58669173
This, just switch to Debian if you're stuck with legacy hardware.
>>58668741
OP here. this is my netbook that i mentioned here >>58667874
FUCKING REEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE
was looking at solus and they only support 64 bits.
void linux seems nice so far. not sure if i should go full gentoo.
>>58666427
sure but they probably do not run arch linux by a big gap
> be me
> be too noob to install DE so i have an unused arch server
> still cry cuz arch is so kewl
>>58668538
wallpaper pls
even my government issued 3rd world netbook is 64bits
get rkt fgt
i believe in the arch mailing list they claimed ~7% of the install base was running i686 with an estimated ~3 - 4% of that 7% being 64 bit capable. so really 3 - 4% are strictly 32 bit.
i can understand their reasoning. really no reason to be stuck on a 32 bit only cpu.
>>58666391
use gentoo
>wait, you probably can't since it would take like a day or two to compile just xorg on that p4.
>>58666427
.... then dont use arch.
kinda makes sense that a distro that aims to be cutting edge is dropping support an archetecture that has been legacy for well over a decade now.
>>58666391
Wasn't that an April fools joke a couple of years ago? Guess it's real this time
>>58666391
well i guess the decision to switch to gentoo on my i686 has been made a little easier
Windows 10 doesn't have this problem.
what the fuck this pisses me off, arch is one of my favorite distros to use on ancient x86 pc
>>58666693
This is what I was worried about when I heard the news. Mostly because Wine. Good to hear though.
get rid of your pentium 4 for christ sake do you live wasting power? do you love the high amount of heat that thing produces? get a regular 2017 pentium for 64 dollars and some cheap compatible board
>>58666391
Just use gentoo, they'll never phase i686 cpus out.
>2017
>still on i686, are u serious?
x86_64 master race
>>58666588
hey mohammed, try not to rape any women today. kthxbai
Install Slackware it's perfect for x86.
>>58672204
the joke is that P4s support x86-64
Windows Vista lacks this problem.
>>58666429
>tfw just installed windows embedded
no regrets
>>58666391
Time to upgrade.
>>58666391
Arch is a distro for desktop users.
Most people treat their computers like shit, so they get a new one every 5 years.
So the amount of people who have a 10 year old computer is decreasing.
If you want to, you can maintain it yourself, there is good guides out there on how to set it up.
>>58666391
proof that arch developers are incompetent idiots
>>58676734
What does it do that windows 7 cant do? Is it lighter or something?
>>58677213
>lighter
>no surface level botnet
>customized install
>cleaner out of the box.
>>58676734
>embedded OS
>for desktop and gaymen usage
Literally autism.
>>58666391
I can sympathize with your plight, stranger. The world marches ever forward to the cliffs edge.
Have a cat...
It just settled on me how fucking poor /g/ users are if this is an issue.
Stop your memes. Get a fucking job. Oh my god I wish I was shit posting but this is an honest feeling of dread I'm having.
>>58677668
It isn't about money, it is about being able to use your devices that are still able to function. That is the issue.
I have a laptop from 1998 that still functions perfectly. It has just been left behind even though it is a great piece of technology.
>>58677704
Your calm, sensible reply has cowed me, Anon.
If it works, let it keep working. I'm just a consumerist.
>>58666391
>Rooo muh 15 year old cpu isnt supported anymore.
>>58666391
just build packages with yaourt or makepkg
>>58674851
not everyone. certainly not mine.
