I'm disappointed that the article no where mentions that people running 32 bit windows for whatever reasons they need to couldn't upgrade to 32 bit Linux.

Isn't 32 bit support also being talked about being dropped from the kernel...? 32 bit is dead. It's not like we will support 16 but processors.

Yes but there is still a retro scene using original hardware. It's nice to have full internet capabilities.

i was wondering who would still be doing this and your comment reminded me of those youtube videos where people get macos 7 and windows 3 online.

That's not strictly true. They're dropping certain features of 32-bit but not dropping 32-bit entirely.

Desktop 32 bit is dead pretty much already. The applications are in the IoT and sever space.
