Put simply, the average Linux user in 2019 should rarely find themselves in a situation where they’re attempting to run a 32-bit binary on a 64-bit machine.

Arch Linux is just the first to stop offering a 32-bit (or i686) version; expect other mainstream Linux desktop distributions to follow suit.

Canonical is not the first Linux vendor to end 32-bit support. Red Hat stopped offering a 32-bit version of Fedora Server as of Fedora 24, but it does still offer 32-bit Fedora Workstation.

Most Linux distributions have left 32-bit x86 behind, but there are still a few great options for your old PC.

With the next version of Fedora, support for the obsolete 32-bit version Linux will be dropped.

2038 is for Linux what Y2K was for mainframe and PC computing in 2000, but the fixes are underway to make sure all goes well when that fatal time rolls around.

With the announcement of LibreOffice 6.3 Beta 1, the open source office suite has also stopped providing 32-bit binaries for the Linux platform, although 32-bit compatibility has not yet been removed.

Looking for a Linux distribution that’s performance-optimized for your AMD processor? It may already exist, and it’s called Clear Linux. That’s right, INTEL’s Clear Linux.
