[Gambas-user] hardware requirments?

Sun Dec 10 16:48:35 CET 2017

My computer is 9 years old and works perfectly with Linux Mint (64bit). I
really like the cinnamon desktop.
I compile Gambas myself and I compile every component except Qt5 stuff.
Never had problems.

When was last 32bit CPU for PCs made? Was it Athlon from 2005?
