So we’re just gonna keep chugging along until 2038? Please.

    No. Valve (the biggest offender) will have to make native 64-bit Steam before then, as will the remaining holdouts, so Linux distros will be able to remove 32-bit packages in a timely manner.

    Removing then now will break too much to be worth doing.

    I don't think Fedora users care about breakages ngl.

    I am a fedora user. I care. Why wouldn't I? ...

    Same. If most of my games stopped working, I would be very annoyed, especially because it was entirely preventable.

    Thankfully, the Fedora project and community agree.

    Because Fedora is a testing distro which gets rid of legacy stuff the first. I wouldn't recommend it if you care tbh.

    I mean, I have more than one machine. Some can be closer to guinea pigs than others. In this case, it's a laptop that I don't keep anything unbacked-up on. Had Fedora on it for about 6 months and I cannot remember an update breaking anything for me so far. The previous machine I had it on was used less but I had the same experience. If you're mainly just web browsing on a machine, bleeding edge is good imo
