This is troubling. There's a strong reason to deprecate i386, and relegate it to a level akin to mips or s390x -- ie, with security support but requiring a conscious decision to install. There are people with hardware that genuinely lacks the NX bit, but it's only them who should be running i386. You can read one of Linus' rants when discussing techniques needed for mitigating melted spectrum on 32-bit kernels on 64-bit capable hardware (TL;DR: it really sucks performance wise, compared to vulnerable (out-of-order) but 32-bit only CPUs), that's just one of reasons why. I guess you make download links for i386 installer way too prominent, without offering an explanation. > + amd64: 61% > + i386 24% > + arm 15% This is interesting. Always nice to see De??an spreading among arm* hardware.
