Canonical Is Considering Dropping Support for 32-Bit PCs After Ubuntu 18.10
- mrlyc 10y agoIt's much sooner than 18.10. From the article, "Starting with the upcoming Ubuntu 16.10 Yakkety Yak release, there shouldn't be any 32-bit Desktop and Server ISO images available for download."
- type0 10y agoSeems like they plan to stop making 32bit ISOs allready from 16.10 and release 32bit as netboot installers only. Then by 18.10 no more 32bit?!
- antod 10y agoSo 32bit netbooters and upgraders will have to move on when 18.04 ends support in 2023? That doesn't sound too bad - time to move on. My last 32bit system (a Thinkpad R51) didn't support PAE, so effectively stopped being supported by quite a few distros 4 or 5 years ago as their 32bit kernels and installers moved to PAE only.
