You might want to read this: https://lists.ubuntu.com/archives/ubuntu-users/2016-August/286771.html https://lists.ubuntu.com/archives/ubuntu-users/2016-August/286772.html https://lists.ubuntu.com/archives/ubuntu-users/2016-August/286773.html https://lists.ubuntu.com/archives/ubuntu-users/2016-August/286774.html https://lists.ubuntu.com/archives/ubuntu-users/2016-August/286775.html You might have noticed that the conversational partner has got an ubuntu.com email address. You should assume that the attitude of Ubuntu is far away from what Ubuntu claims to be. Actually you already could trash machines such as mine, with a 64-bit dual-core, just because it doesn't provide SSE3, let alone that neither my build in ATI, nor my PCIe NVIDI graphics is fast enough for usage with desktop environments such as GNOME, at least when using FLOSS drivers. I still own a 32-bit mobo with an AGP graphics and I didn't sold the RAM of that machine, when a friend ask me to sell it, because I thought that I will use it some day, but seemingly this machine is completely unusable nowadays.
