Description Pierre Ossman cendio 2025-04-02 16:34:22 CEST 
We still support running 32-bit applications in a ThinLinc session, even though the base system must be 64-bit. This causes extra work for us, so at some point we may want to remove that support.

We removed support for the 32-bit server in bug 5308, and the 32-bit client in bug 7962.
Comment 1 Pierre Ossman cendio 2025-04-02 16:36:11 CEST 
RHEL 10 is apparently dropping support for 32-bit applications:

> 32-bit packages have been removed in RHEL 10
> 
> Linking against 32-bit multilib packages has been removed. The *.i686 packages
> remain supported for the life cycle of Red Hat Enterprise Linux 9.
