openSUSE Is Deciding Whether To End 32-bit ARM Support


ject is currently contemplating if it's time to end support for 32-bit ARM devices. Supporting the 32-bit ARM architecture by openSUSE is "increasingly challenging" given limited upstream support and decreasing maintenance resources around ARMv6 and ARMv7.

The openSUSE project is currently contemplating if it's time to end support for 32-bit ARM devices. This would, of course, mean that 32-bit ARM devices like the original Raspberry Pi, Raspberry Pi Zero, BeagleBone, and other older SBCs and embedded devices would no longer work with future openSUSE Linux distribution releases. In helping to decide whether to end 32-bit ARM support, openSUSE announced a brief survey for its users to voice whether they are still relying on any 32-bit ARM hardware support.
