Thankfully this isn’t actually being dropped. A more concrete plan of how to drop 32 bit but keep Steam and older games working is underway.

That's what I thought at first, but I changed it after searching it up.
But I just realized that when I was checking "widthdrawled", DuckDuckGo was actually showing me the definition for "withdraw".
The Change proposal has been withdrawn by the author: https://discussion.fedoraproject.org/t/f43-change-proposal-x11libre-system-wide/156330/57
Fortunately this update won’t require additional porting work over 1.21.6. It’s just minor fixes.
I’m not a fan of how they do drops either. Makes updates feel less special, I can barely remember the names of the drops, and makes things more complicated for modders.
I believe some of the other toolbar buttons also stop working.
Fedora and Red Hat are innovating image-based operating systems. Universal Blue builds on that work.
It would take effort to port that work to Arch. Arch is also a rolling distro, not updating means not getting security updates. Fedora's release cycle allows them to get more stability, they don't have to be using the latest version.
Paragon’s NTFS driver was also upstreamed in the kernel in like 5.15.
SteamOS does not get reported as Arch.
It seems that KDE does not plan on supporting Xlibre, though it may still work.
It makes sense that they would not support it. Their goal is to move to Wayland, not to support yet another thing.
Yes, it's ok for Arch to break things. As their Wiki describes, it's for "the proficient GNU/Linux user, or anyone with a do-it-yourself attitude who is willing to read the documentation, and solve their own problems." You're expected to follow Arch Linux news to watch out for things that require user intervention to avoid breakages.
It isn't Ubuntu or Fedora who try to make a system accessible to everyone.
It’s not surprising you ran into issues.
KDE’s Wayland session sucked 3 years ago, it only started becoming usable for me with 5.27. Before, Plasmashell would commonly crash.
Both have improved quite a bit since 2022. Though Gnome Wayland has always been pretty stable, just lacking some features.
They’re joking, the comment the link is to writes about this same behavior.
