That's rather unusual. 64 bit OSes run 32 bit software. Usually a lack of support comes from the software being legacy software, not so much being 32 bit.
You may already know this, but often times Wine tends to be a better option than running an insecure OS. Wine is more compatible with 32bit Windows software (and old windows software) than Windows is.
I’m not whining. I stated a case to be glad about having legacy options hanging around. You’re reading intonation into my words that isn’t there. Stop it, please.
Here’s an upvote to try and push this a positive direction against the momentum.
Would you please take a moment to familiarize yourself with the HN guidelines.
