Thank you for reviving the only good 4chan thread. I saw it was dead last night, but I was already on my way to bed.

>Anyway, what do you think of Fedora removing 32-bit libraries?
It doesn't affect me directly because I use Linux Mint, but it's not an ideal direction for things to be headed.
>I believe we need some compatibility layer that will allow to run 32-bit applications in pure 64-bit environment just like wine wow64.
The solution would generally be something like Steam Linux Runtime, right? I don't think Steam Linux Runtime itself provides everything that would be needed to run 32-bit games on a distro that provides no 32-bit packages, though, because Steam itself is still 32-bit and therefore assumes it's running on a distro that does have some amount of 32-bit support.
I skimmed through some /r/linux_gaming threads about this, and a whole lot of the discussion there basically amounts to "but there's wow64 so nothing is lost" with no acknowledgement of native games. Damn normies.
And then of course there are people saying "this change is overdue!!" as if they as Linux gamers actually gain anything from distro maintainers taking packages away. I don't know if it's contrarianism or what. I mean, either you're affected (bad), or you're not affected (neutral). There's no reason to cheer for it unless you're in charge of a Linux distribution and want to lessen your workload.
