Well it was done opposite but its been a running joke for decades. Look up "its not a bug its a feature volkswagon" and you will get tons of images of tags that say that. Link -

I got it but it doesn't make sense. A VW Beetle is a bug. -
That's cool.

Well the guy wanted a cheap way to play with linux. So I sold him a old square flat screen 4x3 , a 32 bit DELL with a 128 GB ssd for £20. He got a bargain and I cleared some old kit out and made some loot.
-
Probably that old Dell had a 32 bit CPU and couldn't run a 64 bit OS.

It's a term mostly used in programming and engineering that has been around for decades. Here is more information on the history of "It's not a bug, it' s a feature" -

Thanks for the explanation. I didn't get it either. -

It's a feature, not a bug. -
So it could only use 3.5gb of the ram, why other with 32bit then?
-
Arch hasnt supported 32 bit since November 2017 https://archlinux.org/news/the-end-of-i686-support/ That said, there are some lib32 libraries still around for compatibility

Hmmmm what am I missing ??? -
The person I just sold a old DELL pc to. I installed MX-23 on it and it had a small ssd with 4 GB ram, perfect for him to mess around with linux on.

Audio files are usually 16 bit, 24 bit for hi-res, and 32 bit float for professional production. Has Arch transitioned its packages to 64 bit time? Or does Arch not offer any 32 bit support? Obviously most home and business computers will be 64 bit by 2038 so they are not affected. But Debian supports a variety of architectures, some of which, embedded systems and IoT etc, will remain 32 bit. A good article at LWN - Debian looks forward to 2038

As Eric used to say try the "Big Hammer" - nuke and repave.

Who the h3ll is running 32bit any thing nowadays???
-
This t64 transition is the biggest upheaval of Testing/Sid in living memory. Apparently it is necessary to ensure the future of Linux after 2038 when the current 32-bit time runs out. I guess every other Linux will have to do it in the next 14 years too, probably sooner than later. I'm glad to be on Debian Stable currently.

it's good that you knew what was removed! Thanks to Arch adventures in a VM, I try to pay attention to removed packages before hitting the "y" in the terminal. if you don't know what was removed, good luck getting it (or its replacement) re-installed. in those instances, it's often better to just "apt full re-install" (for any new linux users lurking about...i'm joking....there is no such command!).

Hehe, that is pretty wild that it removed gnome and such.

We owe a lot to these giants of early digital technology.

The last Debian Testing update I did had about 900 packages being held back. After waiting a week or so I tried an apt full-upgrade which wiped out gnome-desktop and bluetooth. Reinstalled what was previously removed and rebooted and everything seems OK. Running Debian Testing is not for sissies.
