Followup question, if you don’t mind! What still needs to be maintained on the Win32 system on behalf of the Fedora maintainers? If everyone has moved on from 32bit, and the old stuff doesn’t change, where is the maintenance requirement? Could we not find a “final” version and leave it static, but still available in the package manager?
Is it that packaging requirements change for different systems to keep up with hardware drivers/new package managers/kernel removing deprecated features/security vulnerability patches?
Yeah, but I don’t get that I’m ringing 64 bit since win7 and never had trouble running old games.
So why still run an is that is dependent on 32 bit?
The 32 bit libraries are still available for you to run that old software. If it was removed entirely those old games would not run
