Sure, but with a private runtime they can run whatever 32-bit code they want, as long as our kernel has CONFIG_COMPAT_32=y. But I'm wondering how much of Fedora's 32-bit userspace is used by that stuff. The question "why they are sticking with 32bit?" is easily answered for games, because they simply aren't under active development. That doesn't mean we're still providing libraries for all of those. _______________________________________________ devel mailing list -- devel@lists.fedoraproject.org To unsubscribe send an email to devel-le...@lists.fedoraproject.org Fedora Code of Conduct: https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/project/code-of-conduct/ List Guidelines: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines List Archives: https://lists.fedoraproject.org/archives/list/devel@lists.fedoraproject.org Do not reply to spam on the list, report it: https://pagure.io/fedora-infrastructure
