Fedora 44 Will Not Pursue The Idea Of Ending 32-bit x86 Software Packages
A proposal raised last week for Fedora 44 was to drop i686 support with ending multi-lib and x86 32-bit packages support
With more and more projects dropping official support for building / running their software on 32-bit architectures, it’s just going to get worse over the next few years. It was a proposal that tried to address technical problems package maintainers and release engineering is facing, not some conspiracy to break the “gaming use case”. We'll see what counter-proposals are raised and ultimately how many Fedora Linux cycles before a similar change is made for phasing out multi-lib support for old x86 32-bit software.
