Archlinux32

I have an old laptop (Pentium 4) that I don't use much but is good for testing stuff, running Archlinux.

Back in January they announced that they'd stop supporting the x86 32bit architecture, but soon after some community members stepped up and created the Archlinux32 port.


They're now at the point where they're encouraging more "adventurous" users to start testing the migration to the new repos and packages, so I did!

It was very simple and mostly flawless, except that the SDDM login manager crashed on startup, but that's been fixed with today's updates, so... so far so good!


It's now working nicely as usual =)


Thanks... arch32ers!!

I think Archlinux did the right thing cutting away 32-bit support. I also believe these people are doing the right thing reviving it. Awesome!
