Bazzite would shut down if Fedora goes ahead with removing 32-bit
-
I don’t see it happening, ubuntu tried and backed out last second years ago. Project mangers just get fussy about putting in resources they don’t directly see the use of. It’s like that new manger you get that thinks they should remove all these processes as they don’t see the use with them. Then slowly as they learn the hard way add all of them back.

That would definitely suck.
I just recently went over to Bazzite as a former long time Windows user, and I’ve been enjoying it more than I thought I would. It’d be a shame if I have to go and look for another OS that would work well for me
Nobara is likely the best candidate for you. https://nobaraproject.org/

As a bazzite user, well that would suck.

More to think on for the Fedora Linux change proposal to drop 32-bit support - as the popular Bazzite would have to shut down.

Well, sucks for them, but why fedora should do it?

If it comes to that, rebase to Silverblue and use the Flatpak version of Steam.

A lot of apps and most games out there are 32 bit and need 32 bit support, trying to pull an Apple is naturally going to be unpopular and unproductive. This is one of those things about Linux and Linux development which is inherently problematic, which is the seemingly severe aversion to legacy support, despite the fact that Linux is often praised for running on older, less capable hardware, as well as taking better advantage of current gen hardware.
I don’t even know why this is even being discussed, it’s an awful idea and should never be implemented.

I’ll be gutted, bazzite feels like my forever distro and I really don’t want to give up atomic either!

Potentially the same problem since Nobara is also Fedora based.

Nobara’s not going anywhere regardless of how this goes down. At least on Nobara you won’t have to worry about your distro going tits up any time soon.

What’s even the argument for dropping 32-bit support? Just developer experience?

Many projects have already been officially dropping support for building and / or running on 32-bit architectures, requiring either adding back support for this architecture downstream in Fedora, or requiring packaging changes in a significant number of packages to adapt to this dropped support.
From the proposal, sounds like an overhead/maintenance issue. It’s ashame, I’ve been enjoying Fedora for the last 3 years since I made the complete switch to Linux from Wangblows
Maybe it’s about time I spend a week getting my Arch install just right
