<p>I just did some research on the market share of 32bit Windows and to date, it's  it's less than 1% according to <a href="https://www.pcbenchmarks.net/os-marketshare.html" rel="nofollow">https://www.pcbenchmarks.net/os-marketshare.html</a><br>
(Some older surveys , of 3-5 years ago put it at max 3..4% <a href="https://www.extremetech.com/computing/267180-nvidia-ends-support-for-32-bit-operating-systems" rel="nofollow">https://www.extremetech.com/computing/267180-nvidia-ends-support-for-32-bit-operating-systems</a> , <a href="https://www.backblaze.com/blog/64-bit-os-vs-32-bit-os/" rel="nofollow">https://www.backblaze.com/blog/64-bit-os-vs-32-bit-os/</a> )</p>
<p>Based on this, I'm surprised developers still ship Windows 32bit applications...</p>
<p>And it's only today I discovered (thanks to this issue :) ) that in fact only my Windows is 32bit, while my processor is 64bit<br>
(it can be confusing b/c in System Information / System Type it says "X86-based PC", and I thought that means 32bit cpu, b/c when people mention "x86 windows" they usually mean "32bit windows" ).</p>
<p>I should install a Linux (64bit)... (If anyone has tips on which distro to choose, shout out!)</p>
