    I don’t know. just the other day somebody on lemmy was asking about installing a 32bit linux distro on an old netbook and the majority of comments were discussing whether there was any practical reason for distros to continue 32-bit support.

      That’s unfortunate, but still leaves you 20 years worth of devices if they drop 32-bit.
