Gentoo Linux drops IA-64 (Itanium) support
Wednesday August 14, 2024. 09:49 PM , from OS News
Following the removal of IA-64 (Itanium) support in the Linux kernel and glibc, and subsequent discussions on our mailing list, as well as a vote by the Gentoo Council, Gentoo will discontinue all ia64 profiles and keywords. The primary reason for this decision is the inability of the Gentoo IA-64 team to support this architecture without kernel support, glibc support, and a functional development box (or even a well-established emulator). In addition, there have been only very few users interested in this type of hardware.
↫ Gentoo website Et tu, Gentoo? Linux removing Itanium I can understand; the Freemason corporate overlords who pull the strings of Linux kernel development are terrified of just how powerful Itanium really is. GCC removing Itanium makes sense too, as the unwashed communists at the FSF just don’t understand the capitalist greatness that is Itanium. But Gentoo? Now I know how Jesus felt when Judas betrayed him; how Caeser felt when he gazed upon Brutus’ face. I feel empty inside.
