   There is not much 32-bit hardware out there
   anymore. Even cheap stuff like PIs handle
   64-bit.

   DO encourage at least ONE distro to hang on to
   a 32-bit version for a few more years though.
   After that ....... the past is the past.

Slackware plans to do so.
Although, if upstream software will stop supporting it (not only the
kernel, but compilers and linkers), it will definitely come to an end.

   32 has gone the way of 8-bit ....

   Nothing really to DO about it ... tech keeps
   marching on.

   What, should all the distros keep a PDP-11
   version ??? Come ON now !!!

   Learned on a PDP-11, good unit ... but its

I think custom Linuxes of a 32 bit  flavour will be around as long as 
there are being platforms made that will run them and need them.

that is currently the case in Pis as the Zero and Zero W models are 
still in production.

It is probably true to say that ultimately if the PIOS (32bit) were 
frozen at the latest level it would still be a usable option for 
embedded applications almost forever.

I mean you can still run FreeDos on a *86 if you want. Or CP/M on a z80

That doesn't detract from the argument that a 386SX running today's 
linux wouldn't be completely unusable as a day to day desktop.

You would be better off running windows XP on it.

And thats the point. Retro computing uses retro software as well as 
retro hardware. And the cost of maintaining REALLY old kit starts to 
ruse and its utility starts to fall after a certain age.

I think that is what  others than myself have said. The sweet spot for 
low cost *86 computing is 5-15 years old, when its cheap to obtain but 
has enough power to run the latest software.

Beyond that, scrap it or give it to a retro enthusiast.

As long as Kernel, Compilers, Toolchains will be around.

Well its not hard to write a backend for a compiler is it?

Or to port a kernel over, especially if you leave out stuff no longer 
needed.

We never used 'toolchains' back in the day anyway.

It will consume time. Time, nobody wants to provide. If that were the
case, those people would already do the work needed to continue support
32 bit in Linux and the other tools.

Please, go ahead, and provide the support. I bet a distribution will
go ahead then and continuing to provide the distribution.

At the moment there is noone who will do that "not hard" work.

   Nope. Not at all.

   Plenty of those ... but they'll have to craft

Well they will. They *enjoy* it.

My point being that freeDos, CP/M etc still exist. As does SUN solaris, 
Ultrix etc.,

That can do now as well as they ever did, and if you said 'well that 
wasn't much' it was still enough for some stuff.

I've doubt that the manpower is available for that.

Not much development and for old stuff only.

Is a niche OS in maintenance mode, no new SPARC processors, no new
features in Solaris.
Only existing customers will use it for their existing workloads and
they need to plan a migration.

No new software support, no support for current hardware, buying spare
parts is hard, nothing for productive systems in any case.

You can continue running vintage OSses on vintage hardware. It is
expecting much (too much) to expect to run a current OS on vintage
hardware for free.

Exactly.

32 bit ARM is still being sold, so 32bit Raspios etc etc is still worth 
supporting

But MSDOS still works on an old 8088 computer, and there are all the 
tools you need to write code for it still around

If one of the layers stops, the others will follow. Leaving 32bit ARM
to commercial OSses. Embedded stuff is more often proprietary than you
may think.

Computer from 1980, OS from 1990, Tools from 1990. No contradiction.

Feel free to use OS and tools from 2022 on 32bit ARM even in 2035.
