since Arch is falling apart, is it a better idea to start getting

Wow. So fucking difficult. Is it that damn taxing to remember how to use pacman AND apt-get?

>>58884781
Is this the start of x86 deprecation for all of linux and 64 bit only distros?

>>58884852
>apt-get
deprecated

>>58884880
lol no
openSUSE has been 64-bit-only for a few years already

>>58884998

By a wrapper? Sure buddy. Whatever makes you feel better about using a shitty distro.

even the Make:rs are using Ubuntu
arch btfo

>>58884781
Why not gentoo?

>>58885097
In 2017 64-bit is not a requirement to address >4GB of memory.

>>58886224
In 2017 nothing but the cheapest ARM chips are 32 bit.

Why not Fedora?

>>58886479
No packages

>>58885658
This
Gentoo is fine too

>>58885658
This is a valid question.

>>58886496
What packages does Fedora lack?

It has more well maintained packages than Ubuntu.

Chromium

>>58885658
Compile everything on a 32-bit CPU? No thanks

>>58886310
not anymore, it's 2017
even the cheapest chipsets are running 64bit as long as they're modern, it's just how the market transitions. 32 software isn't going anywhere on it as multilib repo will be operating as per normal. Old products and manufacturers using old ass chipsets might be SOL but that's the nature of electronics sometime. Not that some 32 bit branch wont be created and maintained for yet another linux distro.

>cutting edge, rolling release distro
>very outdated hardware
but why?

>>58887760

Is this a new meme?

>>58891207
Because they need every single bug that they can get.

>drops legacy 32bit support

Nigga like you've even used a 32bit OS in the past decade.

>>58884852
Or he could quit being a poor nigger and buy some new hardware.

If you have a processor so old that it's rocking 32bits it's ready for the garbage can.

>>58884781
>>58885097
alot of shit still has a 32 bit processor, and almost no every day programs actually makes use of 64 bit.

This is a fucking retarded move, especially since arch is ideal for ancient hardware.

>>58885658
Dont gentoo users have to compile everything themselves?
compiling on subpar hardware is hell.

>>58892475
You mean buy a cia botnet processor?
Enjoy being forced to have hardware level backdoors.

>>58892454
xp, I got 7 maybe 6 years ago.

Would this affect wine? It would hurt some emulators as well, but beyond that I can't think of anything that's 32bit only.

>>58893742

multilib won't be effected

>>58893117
TempleOS is 64-bit only because that's the way God intended it to be. Supporting 32 bit operating systems is for heretics.
