[xubuntu-users] cryptic msg from ubuntu

[Yvan POSTE]

Hi John,

The subject you are talking about is whether or not the 32-bit version 
will be supported over time.

I checked quickly this morning and found 2 pieces of information on this 
subject :

https://www.numetopia.fr/retour-du-support-du-32-bits-dans-ubuntu/

https://ubuntu.com/blog/statement-on-32-bit-i386-packages-for-ubuntu-19-10-and-20-04-lts

In fact, some support will continue to be provided, but partially, not 
all packages will be supported over time, as the majority of computers 
sold in the last 10 years have been 64-bit architecture and the current 
stock is also 64-bit.

A good tip is to migrate to a 64-bit computer.

I hope I have answered your question.

Have a nice day.


Yvan
