And what about Linux?

Every distro has supported 64-bit programs for the last decade. Why aren’t you able to run 64-bit programs?

O, god yes.

We had this discussion at my company. And the result was we swapped over in our next major version and told any customer who couldn’t run a 64-bit program to get an OS made in the last decade. (no customer complained)

It makes sense to deprecate the 32-bit client. Win 10 32-bit was already pretty rare and any Linux distro has been 64-bit for the last decade.
