Oct 12, 2026, 9:08 AMI have updated Linux Mint several times., e.g. from version 20 (or so) to now 22.3.
The i386 architecture is left over from the old versions. If I re-install the OS (root filesystem) instead of running an update in-place will the i386 architecture installed, again, or just the amd64 architecture ?
Of course, I always do a full backup before any updates of OS versions, so I can get back anytime. Just want to know what others have done to remove the i386 packages and architecture. I found several how-to's on the internet and did a apt-search .*i386 already.
Steam software can still require some i386 packages, but I don't have that installed. The app-images I use should work, anyway, I think
