I would agree for commercial, well-funded enterprises. The situation is much different for funding-starved education, i.e. schools and universities, where Win10 32bit is squatting cheap computers in the *millions*. For example the schools in Paris alone have 22000 active Win10 32bit licenses in 2022 (last time this was counted). > and Cygwin is all volunteer, with > professionally and/or personally busy developers lacking time to do more. > You are on your own with 32 bit dropped, Does Cygwin 3.6 still compile on 32bit? > so ask questions on forums like SO.
