Hi Joel,<br>
<br>
I agree that ARM laptops are becoming popular. However, ARM laptops
like Chromebooks are often not powerful enough to run highly RAM
intensive environments such as GNOME or KDE. Also, let's not forget
that plenty of people still run desktop systems. ARM will probably
avoid the desktop chipset market. The entire Canonical range should
incorporate not only ARM and mobile processor devices, but must
support multiple-core desktop/laptop systems.<br>
<br>
As I have written earlier, at least one flavor must have a viable
i386 variant (ie. can run on minimal RAM, single core Pentium
4-class processor. I suggest Lubuntu). I don't necessarily see a
problem with developing ARM-compatible versions for as many flavors
as possible, given that it's current technology. <br>
<br>
Thanks,<br>
Jordan<br>

. Currently Martin Wimpress has an Ubuntu Mate version for the
Pi and Allwinner, Longsleep have Xenial for the Pine64. Let's
work toward the future rather than live in the past. Continue
support for Xubuntu 16.04 i386 because a lot of people are
still using this.</font><br>
