Hi, to put it in a nutshell, EOL of 18.04 LTS is April 2028, you shouldn't expect that a lot of i386 or even other 32-bit architecture could be artificially maintained much longer. To some extend you could take the soldering station and make one computer out of two computers. However, at some point there aren't enough IDE drives available anymore. There likely will be a lot of climate agreements in the future, so also consider that power consumption of old machines will become an issue, especially for developing countries. Today we already have a lot of less power consuming, but already aged 64-bit machines, that are not much used by those rich New Yorkers anymore, but ready to become a donation.
