An i686 microOS sig is a good idea. This may also give a good idea how to
manage hardware diversity. People with older computers that were running
32 bit Windows 10 may also have another option for a supported operating
system.
I realized I wasn't clear on what I meant by a microOS. This would be only the libraries and tools needed to run a specific utility on a 64 bit kernel versus a general operating system which runs on 32bit. I helped sponsor the 32 bit kernel SIG a couple of years ago in Fedora. It fell apart as there were too many different things needed and too few people who could spend more than a small amount of time on anything. Any sort of SIG needs to have motivated and knowledgeable people who can focus on a problem for a long time. If SIG members are focusing on something they use regularly (Steam?) and know how to debug what problems are being seen in that tool.. they can maintain it. If they aren't then it will collapse in a release or two.
