 Fwd from Linux - Reddit: Lubuntu announces it is dropping 32-bit support from future versions ... https://lubuntu.me/sunsetting-i386/ ... https://redd.it/a84qdw ... @r_linux
 @AceHW [Lubuntu announces it is dropping 32-bit support from future versions ... https://lub …], Another one bites the dust
 @tsimonq2 you forgot to put that announce here
 @AceHW [Lubuntu announces it is dropping 32-bit support from future versions ... https://lub …], Lubuntu was the last.  Xubuntu did it first.
 Death to i386.
 *shot*
 @tsimonq2 you wouldn't know why i'm getting kernel panics in vbox with Lubuntu 18.10 on an 18.04 host would you?
 (and yes the ISO is valid, I zsync with the releases mirror lol)
 Tfw I still have a 32bit laptop with 2gb ram (upgraded from 1gb ram) and it still works
 @AceHW well you would have to install 18.04 or 18.10 but then can still upgrade i386 devices.  The repos themselves for i386 are not gone yet.  Only the installer ISOs
 I wouldn't be surprised it eventually goes away though finally
 Ok
 @teward001 [@tsimonq2 you wouldn't know why i'm getting kernel panics in vbox with Lubuntu 1 …], No clue
 I've been using MX Linux, but was considering trying Lubuntu or Ubuntu Mate (LTS for both) on my regular laptop computer
 I'd wanna wait til I have internet at tge house though
 Sigh. Nobody click that link please.
[14:44] <libri> who ?

[21:10] <beanbag-> BITE MY "CANUCK"....................CANUCK!
[21:14] <ChunkzZ> Damn. Clicked it.
[21:14] <ChunkzZ> 🤣
[21:15] <beanbag-> na I understand, it
[21:15] <beanbag-> is just sad to see it go
[21:15] <beanbag-> oh well
[21:15] <beanbag-> 16.04 going to get extended support as well as 18.04 so my 32 bit embedded stuff will have a few more yrs
[21:17] <beanbag-> err 16.04
[21:17] <beanbag-> 18.04 is already 64 bti only I guess
 why do people recommend reducing vm.swappiness from 60 to 10 :v
[21:18] <beanbag-> err no again 18.04 has a 32 bit build under lubuntu
[21:18] <beanbag-> question
[21:18] <beanbag-> if ubuntu is supporting 18.04 for a while
[21:18] <beanbag-> nevermind
[21:18] <beanbag-> been working too hard this week
[21:19] <beanbag-> dealing with nt4 and win9x powered cnc machines will do that to you :)
[21:21] <wxl> the flavors are NOT getting extra support
[21:21] <beanbag-> thx
[21:21] <beanbag-> so I will have to run 16.04 ubuntu 32 bit to get a long term support
[21:22] <wxl> to get extended support, yes
[21:22] <beanbag-> thx
[21:23] <beanbag-> im just thinking old embedded devices or a useful laptop, im not crazy enough to try to keep a piece of garbage 32 bit only pc going unless it was for a school full of them in a lab
[21:23] <beanbag-> :P
[21:23] <beanbag-> thx for the info
[21:23] <beanbag-> and I don't blame you guys, Im just giving you a hard time cause im old (45 in march)
[21:23] <beanbag-> keep up the good work :)
[21:24] <beanbag-> it's funny though, one of the main reasons I moved to lubuntu now is gone
[21:24] <beanbag-> ubuntu realized everyone hated unity :P
[21:36] <beanbag-> anyways nice chatting, thx for the info wxl
[21:37] <wxl> @beanbag-: np. be well.
