Hey Debian Devs, Look, I’ve been hanging around the Debian scene for ages, so first off, big shoutout for keeping this wild machine running all these years. Seriously, you’re legends.
But I gotta be honest, the news about scrapping i386 support in Trixie? Kinda hit like a brick. Yeah, I get it, there’s probably a mountain of technical headaches and, sure, 32-bit machines aren’t exactly the hot new thing. Still, there’s a bunch of us out here (and a lot of folks in schools, or just scraping by) who keep these old boxes alive. Sometimes that’s all you’ve got, you know? Keeping i386 around isn’t just about nostalgia. We’re talking less e-waste (Mother Earth will thank you), plus giving people with tight budgets a shot at decent, up-to-date software. Feels pretty important to me. Anyway, appreciate all you do, Debian’s still one of the best things out there. Maybe there’s a way to keep the old hardware crowd in the loop a little longer? Just tossing it out there. Thanks for reading my ramble, Piotr
