And finally... after so many years, Steam is finally going to be a 64-bit only app.
That should end years of dependence on 32-bit i686 libraries. Users would no longer need to maintain a 32-bit system library stack just to run the client.
In beta, for now.
@itsfoss Must help that they maintain actively SteamOS from a while, and keep a 32lib subsystem requires a lot of work at deep level.
Perhaps they realized at the end how much burden it was deal with the thing just for running a single piece of software. :P
@itsfoss I think it's good and bad at the same time.
And I am also worried about machines which are older and that resulted in more E-waste.
I also understand the developer side of don't require older libraries for i686.
So I see it as a win-lose situation.
