The privacy-centric TAILS Linux distro (The Amnesic Incognito Live System) announces:

Tails 3.0 will require a 64-bit x86-64 compatible processor. As opposed to older versions of Tails, it will not work on 32-bit processors.

We have waited for years until we felt it was the right time to do this switch. Still, this was a hard decision for us to make.

[...] Our current goal is to release Tails 3.0, and stop supporting computers with a 32-bit processor, on June 13, 2017.

Announced February 1: Tails 2.10 is out.

The site's news page (which could REALLY use #FragmentIdentifiers MUCH more effectively) says:

Tails 2.11 is scheduled for March 3rd.

      I thought it was a collusion conspiracy to get people to buy new hardware, kinda like how Vista was slow as shit on anything but a supercomputer when it was released.

        All the complaining about Vista was due to Microsofts's retarded services that ground your disk 24/7 and robbed CPU/memory. Useless indexing services, super fetch, and a few others I forget were all culprits. Once you disabled them, your system improved greatly. Though, It was still an absolute memory hog. I remember paying Crysis on Vista with 2GB. You could start a game and play through. But if you saved, and tried to load that save, game crashed with an out of memory error. Vista really needed 4GB to make it useful as at idle it would suck up 1+GB.
