@lamka02sk my netbook has 32 bit Win7-Starter.
-
@Fast-Nop well, it is a dinosaur I guess :D
-
@lamka02sk It's barely 10 years old, just like my desktop PC.
Scotch whisky just starts to become drinkable at that age. -
@Fast-Nop and a male mosquito is dead 360 times over. Biased comparison is biased.
Though I agree, dropping 32 bits entirely seems a bit harsh. -
@Commodore actually, it makes sense. Look at the money flow! HW companies like Intel, AMD and ARM invest considerable money in Linux, and they don't make profit from people who use years old 32 bit systems. Instead, they profit from people who buy new systems, and these are nearly always 64 bit these days.

@Fast-Nop new, barely 10 year old systems?^^

@nitwhiz I didn't say they are making profit from me. :-)

From the Chromium mailing list:
TL;DR - 32 bit is no more (?)
Hi, chromium devs,
TL:DR;
I will remove following 4 builders next week.
Linux Builder (dbg)(32)
Linux Tests (dbg)(1)(32)
linux_chromium_compile_dbg_32_ng
linux_chromium_dbg_32_ng
More explanation:
For now, chromium does not support 32 bit Linux
https://support.google.com/chrome/...
and all 32 bit x86 devices for chromeos is EOL too.
https://chromium.org/chromium-os/...
Considering that, I was not able to find any reason we have builders for not supported platform now.
If you have any comments about this builder removal, please let me know.
I will start removing process of the builders next week if there is no concern from you.
Note: This removal does not include 32 bit android/windows/libfuzzer or other than chromium builders.
Thanks,
Takuto
