I work in software and manage hosted services myself, for personal and professional purposes. Once set up, it’s pretty easy. It’s once an issue like this arises that it can become a bit of a nightmare. What I’m going on about is the dude putting in well over an hour, at least, of typing about his little conspiracy theory. Could something sketchy be happening? Yes. Is it likely? No.
Yet you care enough to type multiple college length comments just about your paranoia. Either do something about your bitching or shut up already.
All 64 but cpus can run 32 bit processes just fine, and many distros enable multilib, or have some sort of alternative (e.g. SNAP) by default. Only distro I’ve had to do that on is arch… And that’s a DIY distro, so that makes sense.
That, itself, doesn’t really make using steam and more difficult
That’s not the only comment he left on this post… And that’s not how my comment is meant to be read. More a “Once you get it set up, it runs itself.” doesn’t matter your skill level. I mention my experience to give credit to my perspective, since I’ve been a dumbass at this stuff before, so know how it is.
