Linux letting go: 32-bit builds on the way out

Sky is not falling

When I read the article, I got the mistaken impression that the major Linux distros are dropping support for all 32-bit architectures including ARM.

It was quite a relief to read the referenced post and learn that it's only Ubuntu dropping the i386 architecture.

Ubuntu desktop seems largely to target Windows converts, so I suspect this is really not a big deal.

The headline certainly caught my attention, though. And that's the purpose of a headline, right?

P.S. Of course there's RPi and CentOS and Gentoo and the BSDs, but those don't have qute the same...culture...as Ubuntu.
