On Fedora 34 or later, you can use “/lib64/ld-linux-x86-64.so.2 --help”.
If x86-64-v2 shows up as “supported”, there is compatibile:
| Subdirectories of glibc-hwcaps directories, in priority order:
| x86-64-v4
| x86-64-v3 (supported, searched)
| x86-64-v2 (supported, searched)
Hmm, I am wondering if we can't use output from that and gather this information as a part of DNF Count Me?
We'll at least gather information about capabilities of Fedora users hardware.
Not really.. adding in exact architectures and stuff starts getting into areas where GDPR and similar regulations consider profiling even if it isn't easy for us or what we want to do. [And no it doesn't matter if people who have read the various regulations say that isn't really what GDPR says.. the courts and lawyers have said that once you add in all the back laws, rulings and other things.. it is what the GDPR (and other laws) become. ]
At best we can try some sort of 'volunteer' popcorn/smolt system, but it is rife with needing to design in 2 things common with them:
1. The information being given is going to be abused by malefactors so you need to make sure it is filtered.
2. The information even if volunteered can and must be expunged when the volunteer wants it to be.
Those two items are a lot of work which usually is more than anyone wants to put into a survey system.

I've seen things you people wouldn't believe. Flame wars in
sci.astro.orion. I have seen SPAM filters overload because of Godwin's
Law. All those moments will be lost in time... like posts on BBS... time to reboot.
