Devs unhappy with Ubuntu for dropping 32bit
All this whining over playing games?? How about you grow up and use a computer for productivity and communications and buy a game machine to play games on. The PS4 runs on linux and appears to have no shortage of great gaming.
It's well past time to put the 32bit architecture behind us. Wine seems useful for running MSOffice on a linux box and many other productivity softwares. And they're available in 64bit versions.
I don't see why, after more than a decade of 64bit growth, devs should have to maintain both platforms.
The developers
I think it's them who are most upset.
