F44: remove software for i686 architecture

Ask Fedora
1

Hi,

I recognized that my system has the same software installed for both architectures i686 and x86_64. E.g. SDL3:

SDL3 i686 0:3.4.12-1.fc44 updates 3.5 MiB
replacing SDL3 i686 0:3.4.10-1.fc44 updates 3.5 MiB
SDL3 x86_64 0:3.4.12-1.fc44 updates 3.2 MiB
replacing SDL3 x86_64 0:3.4.10-1.fc44 updates 3.2 MiB

As far as I unterstand x86_64 architecture should be sufficient for my system:

In case I am right: how can I remove software for the dedicated i686 architecture?

Thank you in advance

sudo dnf remove SDL3.i686

Do you have Steam installed? If so, then I believe SDL3 is one of the libraries that you need to have the i686 version of, for 32-bit compatibility.

no, Steam is not installed.
Thank you for the remove command with the suffix .i686
