Good God this has been a long time coming. Soon no more 32 bit binaries.

I remember when Adobe Flash was super late to the 64bit game. I think that was 15 years ago.

Now make Steam work on IPv6.

Edit: It was 18 years ago. I believe this is also the last year that intel made a pure x86 processor (the Atom N270).

Sadly, with GitHub being a similar case, I think it will take until the heat death of the universe before these services start supporting ipv6.

After this becomes stable, Wayland support should be next.

Finally the excuse I’ve been searching for to reinstall arch, when this drops and I get to install without multilib enabled I’ll be so happy

Until there's Proton 11 with finished WoW64 and stable steam client is avaliable

See? You'll soon have the 64bit Steam, You have Wine11 with WoW64, and as soon as new Steam client + Proton 11 comes out, you can finally remove 32bit libs without fucking up experience for the user.

Was that so hard?
