x64 and Arm g++

Can I compile a C++ app (MySQL and mongoose) on x64 using g++ and deploy the binary to my pi (arm)?

Would I need to re-compile?

Would the code / libs be compatible at all?

Why would anyone develop or contribute to a software free of charge?

WhileI have a personal opinion on this but am interested in what are other people's thoughts. And more importantly, the opinion of programmers who actually develop FOSS, as I am not one of them.

I doubt that it is purely a romantic approach to contribute to the (digital) society, although this is part of the equation too. It is morally correct after all.

Not only desktop...

Much people here talking that desktop is the only platform where Linux isn't popular. But it's not so. Big amount of science equipment runs Windows. Oscilloscopes, electronic microscopes, wafer dicing machines, steppers and so on uses it. So, I want to ask you two questions:

1. Do we need to do something with this?
2. If yes then what and how?

Why the biggest distros are using Gnome when it's so unpolished and heavy? Not to mention the design choices...

Just wondering what makes Ubuntu, Fedora, Pop_OS and some other big and widely used distributions to pick Gnome over something like XFCE, KDE and even Cinnamon?

They are more customizable, user-friendly and looks much better. I would call them even more mature and stable as a DE.

Just Dumped Win 7 Pro for Linux Cinnamon 64

Excited to make the switch!

Any suggestions for a newbie?

I've relied on the full google suite for syncing. What's best to replace it as I'm wanting to remove as much Google from my life as possible

Will we ever be able to drop 32 bit support and move to a clean 64 bit environment?

I think it will take at least a few decades more, at least for me. I still have a bunch of closed source games via steam that is in 32 bit that I regular play. So I still need to have 32 bit support for some apps.

When do you think it will be gone and dead? It is only recently that 386 was dropped and we supported was moved to 686, which seems to be the new baseline. Would we ever see 686 being dropped ?
