Good God this has been a long time coming. Soon no more 32 bit binaries.

    I remember when Adobe Flash was super late to the 64bit game. I think that was 15 years ago.

    Now make Steam work on IPv6.

    Edit: It was 18 years ago. I believe this is also the last year that intel made a pure x86 processor (the Atom N270).

    After this becomes stable, Wayland support should be next.

    Finally the excuse I’ve been searching for to reinstall arch, when this drops and I get to install without multilib enabled I’ll be so happy

    See? You'll soon have the 64bit Steam, You have Wine11 with WoW64, and as soon as new Steam client + Proton 11 comes out, you can finally remove 32bit libs without fucking up experience for the user.

    Was that so hard?
