I’m surprised there aren’t more/any? binary package based distros that ship more variants than i686 and whatever x86_64 is now. 2008 is 12 years ago, it seems reasonable for there to be a variant optimised for CPUs released in the last 10 years.https://twitter.com/jeremy_soller/status/1227399122405036032 …

Because a lot of distros benefit from running on people's old laptops and having two variants means 2x the QA efforts.

I didn't suggest dropping the existing CPU profile. I think it's likely an x86_64 with SSE4.2 profile would have more users than some of the architectures that are supported by some distros already, and that effort is deemed worthy.

That is why you should not be surprised that there aren't variants, shipping a distro build is hard work.

Ok, yes I guess I shouldn't be surprised.
