For your information: the end of 32 bit system support is coming
-
The current version of electron we use is version 43,
This version actually downloads the binary for the matching runtime at startup.Help from others added a script to my scripts package to help cleanup the growing disk consumption
Anyhow, version 43 is no longer supported after this year
Version 44 does NOT provide support for arm32, armhf systems.
Node 24 also has the same limitation.We will move to electron 44 in the October release.
And will document a workaround: after install or upgrade, manually install electron 43 before running
(I’ll update the install/upgrade scripts to do the hack while it works)We don’t know how long this hack will work.
Soooo, for those of you running on 32bit os for smaller memory, pi0-2w or pi3, you need to start making plans
- Freeze upgrades on that system
- Upgrade, possibly the hardware too, to a 64 bit os
We have added the electron 44 to the next release, aka develop, branch
If you have time or interest you can start reviewing its impacts by installing the develop branch.See my post in troubleshooting about testing changes for how to get the develop branch
