Assuming your kernel is compiled with IA32 emulation

• yjftsjthsd-h 7y ago
  It's not emulation; x86_64 processors are backwards compatible (to a fault, arguably...), so it's just a little bit of support that AFAIK everyone leaves enabled because why not.

    I am aware, nevertheless the flag is called CONFIG_IA32_EMULATION because the 64bit kernel is emulating the 32bit syscall interface.

      I'm building a new PC soon and plan on trying my hand at a Gentoo box. Is this something I want to make sure is set if I wish to use steam?

        For now, I think it's the default everywhere.
