I admit to not fully understanding the technical side of things, but am I misunderstanding this article. To me it seems they are discussing the deprecation of 32 bit support within the 64 bit kernel and not deprecating the 32 bit kernel.
I have no idea what that quote actually means lol, but to me, while 32 bit pc's will lose support at some time in the near future, this is not what I understand is been discussed in the article.
Then again this is way above my technical knowledge
Quote:The Linux x32 ABI as a reminder requires x86_64 processors and is engineered to support the modern x86_64 features but with using 32-bit pointers rather than 64-bit pointers.
