And here somebody speaks it out clearly:

"[snip]
If you really want to use such specialized systems I recommend
that you switch to a more specialized Linux distribution that caters to
older and lower-powered systems

Note, we are talking about a 64-bit dual-core, not about 32-bit.

I replied clearly spoken too:

"I'm an Arch Linux user, I only use Ubuntu, too, to help inexperienced
users with Linux real-time audio.

The way computers, whiteware, entertainment gear is wasted nowadays
can't continue that much longer. The reason that "rare earth elements"
are named _rare_ earth elements, is that they are _rare_. One
day they need to be completely recycled and part of a recycling process
is repairing and keeping old hardware as well as writing software for
"old" hardware. Consuming the way a minority of humans, those from the
rich countries, is doing it now, could only continue a few decades, if
at all.
