Yes, all of us are very busy, me included. I appreciate all the time you and any other Geany volunteers have put into developing Geany, including the time you have taken to at least read my perspective and same-day respond to it.

However, in short, your answer seems to be: Follow the instructions in the Readme and manual. Go away experienced programmer, Geany no longer supports 32 bit Operating Systems. Don't bother us with keeping 32-bit Operating Systems up to date. We only look forward, but out of necessity and our limited available time limits - we (the Geany Programmers) are thus time constrained, inadequate labor-supply faced.

Duly noted. Geany programmers have also consciously decided, based on time constraints to stop supporting 32- bit OS's. I understand that, yet thank you for clarifying.

"8 Linux Distros That Still Support 32-Bit Architecture", from 4/15/2023 ref. https://www.makeuseof.com/linux-distros-with-32-bit-support/ and "Top 10 32-Bit Linux Distributions in 2023" from 1/31/2023 ref. https://www.debugpoint.com/32-bit-linux-distributions/

Unfortunately, that means I and other 32-bit OS users must evaluate using other IDE, non-Geany programming alternatives. And the last stated major Geany release for version 1.38 occurred in October, 2021 - about 1.5 YEARS ago. To this experienced programmer, facts would seem to imply on a surface level at least:, Geany is not necessarily a viable software package utility going forward for 32-bit systems. Lack of support for them going forward sounds like an issue.

Converting a 32-bit system to a 64-bit OS isn't necessarily possible in many cases. You have also NOT reassured me that it is even possible to use Geany 1.38 on a 32-bit Linux/Debian OS, once all requisite steps get followed to perfection.

For what it's worth, Geany release 1.33 has been, for the most part a very reliable, helpful IDE on Debian 32-bit in the past. And again, thank you very, very much for your time and personal+professional involvement. I get it.
