It's not just ARM; the same has been happening to x86. 32-bit in general is going out of fashion for general-purpose platforms.

- heavyset_go 6y agoI keep a 32-bit x86 Mac alive as a hobby project, and I've noticed the same thing. Debian seems to be the only Linux distribution with a maintained and up-to-date x86 port. edit: I don't want to take up more space in this thread, but would like to thank Vogtinator and saagarjha for pointing out other options for 32-bit Linux distributions.
- saagarjha 6y agoAlpine Linux supports it.
- Vogtinator 6y agoopenSUSE Tumbleweed supports i586 and up.
- nix23 6y agoTumbleweed is just great!!! That comes from a Arch and FreeBSD veteran.
- the_duke 6y agoWell, even many mid-tier phones already have 4 GB RAM now. The demise of 32-bit was/is inevitable for personal computing.
