Hi,
Is there a 64-bit version of skype for anything? MS users are two
stupid to realize that their machines (no different from ours) have
been 64-bit for a long time....
I agree that it would be good to not have to install a 32-bit skype
and associated libraries, but I am not aware of such a possibility.

Hello,
Is there any 64-bit version of skype for fedora 22 ?
There is no 64-bit Skype for Linux (any flavor), never has been and
probably never will be. Remember that Skype is now owned by Microsoft
and Linux is really the "poor stepchild". I'm frankly amazed the 32-bit
thing is even maintained.
This is the crap about closed source proprietary software. If you need
it, then you
have to put up with what it is - no custom builds for your preferred
architecture,
let alone preferred GUI.
I suppose someone with DEEP pockets could set up a VOIP gateway with
landlines so we could use OSS like ekiga, twinkle, kopete, pidgin,
etc. as normal and also have landline access. I don't see that happening
in the near future.
Of course, if you happen to know any of the people who won the last
Powerball lottery, perhaps you could convince them to sink a million or
so into it. ;-p
