Pretty much none is ported to 64bits, including software that is available on Linux 64 bits since ever.
- Omniusaspirer 12y agoThis is probably because many major developers say they at best would gain ~1% more performance out of the change for a decently large investment of man hours. The opinion of those devs (whether you or I agree with them or not) is that time can be better spent making other improvements to their codebases.
- lttlrck 12y ago"Pretty much none"? It's more likely that "pretty much" every application that would actually benefit from being 64 bit is already ported.
- monochr 12y agoYes, like chromium, something I've been using as a 64bit native app since 2009 on Linux.
