Rethink (GNU)Linux 32 bits builds

Open EchedelleLR opened this issue 3 years ago • 2 comments

Electron, not taking in account the old article (https://www.electronjs.org/blog/linux-32bit-support), is supporting (GNU)Linux 32 bits builds (AKA as ia32):

  • https://github.com/electron/electron/releases/tag/v8.4.1
  • https://github.com/electron/electron/releases/tag/v9.1.1

Other apps, such as Kettler (https://www.zettlr.com/) are building (GNU)Linux 32 bits editions on top of Electron too (https://github.com/Zettlr/Zettlr/blob/develop/package.json#L187) and packages as AppImage in this case:

  • https://github.com/Zettlr/Zettlr/releases/tag/v1.7.2

I'm wary of investing time into building for Linux 32-bit when MS isn't supporting it, and we haven't even reached feature parity with MS (e.g. they are now building for Windows on ARM and we aren't). As such, more than welcome to review PRs toward this end, and very happy if anyone is able to get a working binary built for Linux 32-bit. Personally it will be on the back burner for myself.

Thank you for not refusing the proposition in raw and be able to maintain discussion about it.
