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

I rcvd 2 updates from ubuntu in the last day or two with the below message:

SORRY, THERE ARE NO MORE UPGRADES FOR THIS SYSTEM

There will not be any further Ubuntu releases for this system's architecture.
Updates for Ubuntu, 18.04 will continue until 2023-04-26.
If you reinstall Ubuntu from ubuntu.com/download, future upgrades will be available.

Since I an running 18.04, on a 32 bit system, I am confused. Can someone explain?

John
