Drop support for Windows 32 bit (x86)

Open aminya opened this issue 2 years ago • 1 comments

Summary

We should probably drop the support for Windows 32-bit.

Motivation

  • Most of the tools have already done that. It is hard to support it without the support of other tools.
  • This is a blocker for some of the updates
  • It is hard to test Windows x86 locally or inside CI

Describe alternatives you've considered

Additional context

This may help in future support but needs rewriting and refactoring of possibly half of the whole codebase if not more. Thus I think it would be nesessary to drop Win32 support when gathering enough developers to do it (to make the update faster without breaking anything).
