Arguably, any 32-bit binaries that still need to be supported are old now, and a pure 64-bit environment could afford to run them in emulation/JIT translation/whatever without noticeable performance issues.
- dist-epoch 3y agoThey only remove support for 32-bit OSes, not for running 32 bit code in general: > To further clarify, 32-bit x86 user-space software would continue to work on modern 64-bit operating systems with X86-S. A lot of Windows binaries, including most Electron apps, are still 32 bit, and are run unmodified on 64 bit Windows.
