Hello openSUSE! (This survey is an action item from https://etherpad.opensuse.org/p/ReleaseEngineering-20250618#L103)
As we continue to evolve openSUSE, we're evaluating the future of support for 32-bit ARM architectures (ARMv6 and ARMv7), commonly used in devices like the Raspberry Pi 1, Pi Zero, and other older embedded boards. Due to limited upstream support and maintenance resources, we're considering retiring this architecture unless there’s clear usage and community interest. If you're currently using openSUSE on a 32-bit ARM device, please take a moment to complete our short survey: https://survey.opensuse.org <-- The important part The survey takes less than 5 minutes and has only two questions. The contribution-related question will only appear if you indicate that you're using openSUSE on 32-bit ARM. The survey will close on July 31st. If you miss the deadline, feel free to reach out on IRC at #opensuse-arm on Libera.Chat or by email at arm@lists.opensuse.org. P.S. We ran a similar survey during the Leap 15.2 "Closing the Leap Gap" effort. Around 10 people expressed interest in contributing, which raised our hopes, but in the end, no one followed through. We’re not sure where things went wrong, and we’d like to better understand the actual usage and interest this time. Thank you very much for your time. Best regards, Luboš Kocman openSUSE Leap Release Manager
