It is not. There are tons of Linux-native games, e.g. from GOG (gog.com) that people like myself have purchased and want to play. Many of them were built as 32-bit x86 only and use an old build of the Unity Engine. For example, ABC Murders has the following direct i686 requirements: gdk-pixbuf2.i686 glib2.i686 glibc.i686 gtk2.i686 libgcc.i686 libglvnd-glx.i686 libstdc++.i686 libX11.i686 libXcursor.i686 libXrandr.i686 mesa-dri-drivers.i686 pulseaudio-libs.i686 systemd-libs.i686 I haven't walked the dependency graph to find all dependencies of these. There's a game Botanicula that is written using Adobe AIR and requires that old AIR runtime to run. This has direct requirement on the following: atk.i686 cairo.i686 dbus-libs.i686 fontconfig.i686 freetype.i686 gdk-pixbuf2.i686 glib2.i686 glibc.i686 gtk2.i686 gtk2-engines.i686 libcurl.i686 libgcc.i686 libglvnd-glx.i686 libstdc++.i686 libX11.i686 libXcursor.i686 libxml2.i686 libXrender.i686 libxslt.i686 libXt.i686 nspr.i686 nss.i686 pango.i686 zlib-ng-compat.i686 There are probably still 32-bit games using other engines that I don't have access to. > I think we could actually remove all 32-bit libraries *not* required by > Steam for Fedora *43*. That should probably be uncontroversial, right? If that included the above packages and their dependencies then I'd be fine with that. > I know that doesn't do anything to help with our infrastructure > concerns, but it will at least spare most maintainers from fixing > 32-bit build failures. +1 to that.
