So y'all can also answer me why you need 32 builds of windows/linux, if it has to do with externals only being available for 32 bits. Cause my main concern is to upgrade "relevant" libraries. But I mentioned macOS cause that's where I can really help most.

We all know new macOS systems are 64 bits only. Now we have the new M1 chips that I believe CANNOT run older systems. Therefore, 32 bits is deprecated!

Now, I don't know what's the deal with PCs. I guess anyone can get any new PC computer and run Pd 32 bits if they want/need, right? I guess I need to ask: What's the deal with windows/linux? Do any of you suffer with 32 vs 64 bits issues? Like needing a 64 bit system and not having 64 bit externals for Pd or whatever?

in windows that's not a problem, it's common to have 64+32b software running. I doubt that any 32b hardware is still being produced, maybe there's some in the 2nd hand market (I also have 2 mac powerpcs at home, but don't use them, and probably it's not worth it to consider these relevant)
