The decision is based on usage data showing only one failed install attempt in the past three months, making continued maintenance unjustifiable. The installer will continue supporting x86_64-linux, aarch64-linux, x86_64-darwin, and aarch64-darwin. Users who still need i686-linux support are encouraged to reach out directly. ## Full article daily.dev links to this article rather than hosting it.
