Can you tell the rest of us what we are missing by running a 32-bit browser or is the difference just indescribable?
you are pulling in 32 bit libs which eat up ram...
Oh, so the reason you like 64-bit is that the libs use less ram? That's the first I've heard that...
if i load a 64 bit library... and have to load the 32 bit one aswell cause i need the backwards stuff i waste ram for the 32 bit lib ;).
since i fear you dont get it again i am going to explain by example rather
lets take a browser that uses the gtk library... lots of desktop apps i use need the 64 bit version... now a 32 bit browser like e.g. galeon needs 32bit gtk... so both are loaded... loading one lib 2 times is overhead in my eyes that is avoidable and proprietary stuff again is anyways just a workaround not a solution.
disagree again? ;)
and then again why are you using 64 bit fedora at all if you dont like the 64 bit fuss? ;)
Because it still runs all the old stuff unchanged.
backwards compat is nice but personally i prefer fixes instead of workarounds, just a matter of attitude.
just curious...
You are asking many people to do a lot of work to build/test/maintain/distribute additional versions. I'd just like to know what to expect to see in return for that extra work.
actually a real solution wouldnt need much more than a rebuild ;).
