It is always good to utilize your hardware as long as possible without replacing them. - -However, the reasons not to use 32-bit systems may be more compelling than ever. The key highlight would be in terms of security and maintenance. - -### Improved Security With 64-bit Linux - -Spectre vulnerability made the buzz in 2018 as a dangerous security issue for processors. While it was fixed for Intel and AMD processors, it was not a pretty situation. - -Unfortunately, a new exploit, **Retbleed**, a variant of Spectre, is here affecting Intel and AMD chips. - -You can see it in action in the video below shared by the researchers who discovered it: - -![][3] - -So, naturally, we need appropriate measures to address a fix for this new security vulnerability. - -**Here comes the shocker**: 64-bit Linux kernels have received a fix for it to protect the necessary Intel/AMD processors in question. But, Linux 32-bit kernels remain vulnerable to Retbleed, as reported by [Phoronix][4]. - -Pawan Gupta (Intel) responded to the concerns in the [kernel mailing list][5] by mentioning: - -> Intel is not aware of production environments that use 32-bit mode on Skylake-gen CPUs. So this should not be a concern. - -Also, it is rare to see any efforts for 32-bit maintenance. So, it should not come as a surprise. - -Hence, if you use your system for any tasks that a security issue can disrupt, you should steer clear of 32-bit kernels. - -Of course, exceptions can include that you have an entirely offline setup. So, it would be up to you, but it is not recommended. - -### Don’t Care About Security? - -Even if you do not have a problem with not getting critical security fixes like Retbleed, there will be more trouble with 32-bit systems in 2022. - -Software maintainers aeventually giveup on tools and Linux distribution updates to work well with 32-bit systems. - -So, you may not be left with actively maintained programs for your 32-bit Linux system very soon. - -Hence, it would be a good idea to make the switch (and upgrade) now. - -_Do you still use 32-bit Linux?
