i686 will no longer be a supported platform of Arch Linux. [1] This is the second time that I witness an x86 architecture "die". The last time was the death of 80286, which essentially happened with OS/2 2 and Windows 3.11. (Yeah, yeah, it's only Arch. Still important.) ____________________ 1. https://www.archlinux.org/news/phasing-out-i686-support/
