I can't honestly say I've seen a 32bit computer in what must be nearly a decade now?

- stevekemp 9y agoA lot of hosting companies run KVM/qemu/Xen or even UML with 32-bit guests by default. But yeah in terms of physical computers 64-bit has long been the default. I remember upgrading from 32-bit to 64-bit in-place a few times, which is a bit fiddly but not impossible with Debian. I wrote up a couple of guides once upon a time, but right now I can just find this old wiki-page discussing the process: https://wiki.debian.org/Migrate32To64Bit https://wiki.debian.org/Migrate32To64Bit
