We’ve still got time to fix it, and the next release of Debian will likely have a time-64 complete userland. I don’t know the status of other “bedrock” distributions, but I expect that for all Linux (and BSD) systems that don’t have to support a proprietary time-32 program, everything will be time-64 with nearly a decade to spare.

This is for a 32bits encoded epoch time, which will run out in 2038.
Epoch time on 64 bits will see the sun swallow Earth before it runs out.
That’s the 32 bit timestamp
