My favorite messages are “Don’t touch this file unless you talk to Gary. Don’t import this file unless you talk to Gary. Don’t even think about this file until you talk to Gary!” And Gary has moved on and hasn’t worked there for years.

This seems like a lot of work to bypass a password on an unencrypted drive. You can access all the files using a bootable Linux drive.

All yaml is just sparkling JSON.

Being able to run on everything is nice, but what you’re actually asking for here is for a highly skilled (and rare) distro maintainer to dedicate substantial amounts of time to maintaining and testing thousands of packages on 32 bit systems in case someone wants to use it. It’s not just like users get to click a button and voila, they can run more games than before.

If you really need to use 32 bit software, eventually you’ll just have to manage it yourself because no one else is able to do it for you. That capability will almost never go away.
