Why what, why run the next version, or why run more boxes with next LTS? I
admit that since the move to Gnome from Unity (ok Unity is sort of still
possible) I guess I want to get used to it before I need to have it, and maybe
see whats new, I do like 16.04 and will miss it when support stops, not that I
need to stop using, I think I have a 14.04.5 somewhere

I'd say half my flock will not get to 20.04, moving forward who can tell, min

I made that move (on Netbook) to see "if" it would work, and hoped that 18.04
to 20.04 would also work (WRONG) I'm slowly getting the boxes with non-LTS
versions to either an LTS release or the latest (supported ) non-LTS, I have
very slow broadband so it takes time

I think it went 64 only when Ubunto went the same way, i.e. BionicPup was last
that could be 32bit and that works well
