If anyone could give me a good answer to why 64-bit is useful I wouldn't argue. But now I'm planning a 64-bit linux ARM distro that only runs 32-bit apps!

- sounds 3y agoI'm reading between the lines a bit to try to answer, so if I missed your question or your intent please just point it out and I will adjust my answer. 32-bit is extremely useful. For intel, 16-bit is also very useful. The problem is that there is a strong divide between the people who find 32-bit and 16-bit useful at Intel, and the people who feel a need to force everyone onto UEFI "Class 3+" [1] and that everything else must be squeezed out, shamed, and moved to an emulator. It sounds like Arm 32-bit support might be around for a while. I mainly wanted to clarify that Intel is dropping their 32-bit and 16-bit support.
