Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
Yes, the problem is that many older systems or specific hardware configurations still rely on 32-bit Linux distributions. As software development increasingly focuses on 64-bit systems, it becomes challenging to find compatible packages for 32-bit systems. This can be frustrating for users who need to maintain or use older hardware, or who have specific requirements that necessitate a 32-bit environment.
Describe the solution you'd like
I would like to see the availability of a Linux 32-bit package for your software. This would involve compiling and distributing a version of your software that is compatible with 32-bit architectures. Ideally, this package would be maintained alongside your 64-bit versions, ensuring that users of older systems can still benefit from updates and new features.
Describe alternatives you've considered
Using a 64-bit system: While this is a viable option for some, it is not feasible for users with hardware that only supports 32-bit systems.
Virtualization: Running a 32-bit system within a virtual machine on a 64-bit host is possible, but it adds complexity and overhead, which may not be ideal for all users.
Cross-compilation: Manually compiling the software for 32-bit architecture is an option, but it requires technical expertise and may not be practical for all users.
Additional context
Target Audience: Users with older hardware, embedded systems, or specific use cases that require 32-bit Linux.
Impact: Providing a 32-bit package would extend the reach of your software to a broader audience, including those who are unable to upgrade their hardware or systems.
Examples: Many open-source projects still provide 32-bit packages (e.g., Debian, Ubuntu, and some specialized software), which demonstrates the ongoing need for 32-bit support in certain contexts.
