I was about to install miniconda when I realised that there is no installer for Python 3.7 and 64-Bit architecture for Linux available on the conda-readthedoc (see below).

Is there a reason I do not understand (such as that I could go with the 64-Bit installer for Python 3.8 and conda install python 3.7 in an environment?)
Edit:
I believe there is just no Python 3.8 based installer for the 32-Bit miniconda version while the latest installer for 64-Bit is based on Python 3.8. (see comment in the conda-docs, refrencing miniconda.rst.jinja2, where any edits should be done before regenerating the site using the script create_miniconda_rst.py)
see screenshot of miniconda.rst.jinja2 description
Anyway, it is not necessary for me (at this point) to go with the py37 based installer, as I can just create environments with earlier versions of python, even though my installer is 3.8. (in theory, I hope this works for my project).
