I've been exclusively using 64 bit computers and operating systems, both Windows and Linux, for about 7 years now, never had the reported driver problems, well, never had any issue, really.
For me at least, 32 bit is only important for ARM. On the other hand the issue is very much blown out of proportion, most people haven't seen it, even if they run 32 bit servers. Most usual servers written in Go, like web servers, use very little memory. I process 4k requests per second using 7MB of resident memory. There are many memory intensive applications, but you usually don't run those on 32 bit.
- sixbrx 15y agoI do wish the desktop world would just move wholesale to 64 bit, but do note that Ubuntu still marks the 32 bit install the "recommended" one, so I would guess there must be some sort of problems that are lingering in the 64 bit versions. Maybe just flash support or something like that?
- el_muchacho 15y agoI don't think there are problems with 64 bit versions, but many computers are still 32 bits. The PC I use right now is 32 bits and I don't feel the urge to buy a new one. So I suppose 32 bit machines will stay around for another decade or so.
