1-Requires more installation space due to need for various 32 bit libs
That's true, and I don't get it. On a freshly installed 13.1 x86_64 system, I have 63 32bit packages installed, for a total of over 41 MB. I see I need glibc-32bit for master-boot-code (which surprisingly is only built for i586), but the remaining ones I have no idea. If I ask zypper to remove them all but glibc-32bit, it says it would be happy to do so, so there are no dependencies.
So I am really curious why these are installed by default. What do I get from having systemd-32bit, samba-32bit, pam-32bit etc. installed on a 64-bit system?
The PAM configuration is agnostic to biarch, it actually is for both. Thats why all packags with PAM modules Recommend their -32bit equivalent. Otherwise you might find missing PAM snippets if there is ever a 32bit program trying to do PAM.
