As it seems Ubuntu 32bit θα ακολουθήσει την ίδια πορεία που ακολουθούν και άλλες σημαντικές distributions. Canonical will stop releasing ISOs for installations on 32bit systems from the next releases.
Canonical's Dimitri John Ledkov sent one message through their group mailing list versions, instructing them not to release 32bit ISOs for the upcoming Ubuntu release.
Ledkov states:
"Dear Release team, please follow the below and remove Ubuntu Desktop i386 daily-live ISOs from Beta and Final 17.10 releases.”
The Manjaro distribution did exactly the same and we can now be sure that many more distributions will follow.
I have Ubuntu 32bit what do I do?
Ubuntu users with 32-bit machines need not worry, as with the Manjaro, will be able to upgrade to the latest version (when released) on their 32bit system.
The above announcement only affects users who want to install Ubuntu from scratch through an ISO.
