Will Leap 42 support 32-bit machines, given that the SUSE 12 it's based on is 64-bit only?
Self-explanatory title. But a lack of 32-bit support would be an odd paradox given that SLE is considered a slow-moving, stable release intended for supporting machines for years to come, and hence probably of interest to those with older computers wanting to keep them alive for as long as possible.
That's a question regarding old hardware, and here's one regarding the new.
I note a comment on the recent LWN article which has already been answered, suggesting that despite having an older 3.12 kernel, heavy backporting of hardware support should make it as up-to-date if not fresher than the 3.16 kernel currently in openSUSE 13.2. But for anybody looking at buying a new machine and/or peripherals such as a printer, touchscreen monitor or input device to run on Leap 42 in coming months or even years, is this really likely to be as well supported as in Tumbleweed?
What I'm trying to get a handle on is, regardless of users' personal preferences for a rolling or stable release, will hardware issues such as both the above points prejudice their choice of which distro they can run?
