Great share, yeti. I wonder what the stats are on consumer *nix users on i386 processors nowadays. I only see them in niche cases anymore.

Why turn them into trash?
I've Devuan on a Netbook.
FreeBSD and OpenBSD announced to treat 32bit PCs as 2nd class architectures too.
Great times for NetBSD... :-ร

Maybe devuan will try to support 32-bit long term.

I think that's too optimistic.
I want to be proven wrong.
I will not bet on this to happen.

As of now the only thing that would need to be provided by a downstream distro is the kernel, as it seems. But time will tell how bad the damage will be, Trixie still hasn't even been released.
