  • I’m using multilib for gaming compatibility, I’m not saying we need full _time32 support.

    If I pull 32bit libs for specific applications, why would that affect the kernel or the user spaces apps that are all 64 bit and using 64 bit function calls??

    2038 will break games that make specific calls to 32bit time functions, sure. Thats gonna suck in 12 years from now. But what if instead of breaking compatibility for gaming now, we work towards a solution in the next 12 years?



  • 32bit does need to go but we’re at a time where a lot of people are switching their main PCs or gaming PCs over to Fedora to get ahead of Windows 10 EoS. The timing in this change couldn’t be worse (even if it’s two versions ahead.)

    It’s bad PR to break Steam and gaming at this time. Valve needs to sort this out on their end but the Fedora Project needs to check in with their users to see what they’re using on Fedora.

    Also loved the gaslighting at the end. Very Linux dev.
