since Arch is falling apart, is it a better idea to start getting accustomed to Ubuntu/Debian instead?

Wow. So fucking difficult. Is it that damn taxing to remember how to use pacman AND apt-get?
Blake Flores
Is this the start of x86 deprecation for all of linux and 64 bit only distros?
Jacob Fisher
>apt-get
deprecated
Samuel Edwards
lol no
openSUSE has been 64-bit-only for a few years already
Eli Jones
By a wrapper? Sure buddy. Whatever makes you feel better about using a shitty distro.

even the Make:rs are using Ubuntu
arch btfo
Josiah Cooper
Why not gentoo?

In 2017 64-bit is not a requirement to address >4GB of memory.
Eli Peterson
In 2017 nothing but the cheapest ARM chips are 32 bit.

Why not Fedora?
Leo Martin
No packages
Adrian Gomez
This
Gentoo is fine too
Alexander Roberts
This is a valid question.
Easton Russell
What packages does Fedora lack?
It has more well maintained packages than Ubuntu.

Compile everything on a 32-bit CPU? No thanks
Zachary Adams
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.

but why?

Is this a new meme?
Kevin Richardson
Because they need every single bug that they can get.

Nigga like you've even used a 32bit OS in the past decade.
Oliver Butler
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.
Luke Gomez
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.
Dont gentoo users have to compile everything themselves?
compiling on subpar hardware is hell.
Nicholas Moore
You mean buy a cia botnet processor?
Enjoy being forced to have hardware level backdoors.
Gavin Martin
xp, I got 7 maybe 6 years ago.
Xavier Peterson
Would this affect wine? It would hurt some emulators as well, but beyond that I can't think of anything that's 32bit only.
Chase Turner
multilib won't be effected
Ayden Parker
TempleOS is 64-bit only because that's the way God intended it to be. Supporting 32 bit operating systems is for heretics.
