[Request][Jolla Tablet]Make the base system 64 bits-only [not relevant]
Backwards compatibility is a pain. In the past Linux distributions didn´t take full advantage of the newest CPU´s features because they targeted older ISAs. x86 is the past and x64 is the future. Perhaps the benefits are not evident for this model but this is for future´s sake. So I suggest:
- Make the base system (libraries, system applications, etc) 64 bits only.
- Allow the user to install 32 bits support packages if needed.
- Install 32 bits libraries by default only if can´t be avoided (like Android compatibility).
- Only allow 64 bits in the store unless it´s justified.
If this can´t be done please at least make this chip´s features (AVX instructions, etc) the lowest common denominator. Don´t support old CPUs like the Pentium Pro.
