| xu-help45w | hello, a question about 32bit versions from xubuntu. how long is a 32bit version available? | 16:54 |
| Unit193 | Bionic was the last version, it was released in 2018 with three years of support. | 16:55 |
| xu-help45w | thx Unit193 | 16:55 |
| Unit193 | If at all possible, consider whether you can switch to a computer that's 64bit as 32bit will be less tested and things might start disappearing there. You *may* want to consider Debian as it still supports 32bit, but... | 16:57 |
| xu-help45w | i try debian i386. thx | 16:59 |
| xu-help45w | the problem is that this computer is from a beginner and windows user... i hope he can use debian :-) | 17:00 |
| chaslinux | @xu-help45w If the person is a beginning user I tend to find out as much I can about what they're going to do with the computer, then I customize the distribution to suit them better. (e.g. dragging frequently used icons to the desktop, adding whatever games/software that might help them). Just dumping a stock Linux image, no matter the distro, | 17:05 |
| chaslinux | usually frustrates people. That said I had someone who was 85, spoke almost no English, and he was fine with Xubuntu because I customized it for him (larger panel, icons in the panel for Skype and other software he used... even added a flag in the right hand corner so he can switch between typing in Russian and English). | 17:05 |
| xu-help45w | @chaslinux right | 17:07 |
| xu-help45w | true | 17:07 |
| chaslinux | But yeah, *buntu's are nice for how easy some of the non-free stuff is to install... | 17:09 |
| xu-help45w | new lubuntu installed. grub boot fails...^^ | 17:10 |
| xu-help45w | "attemp to read or write outside of disk hd0 | 17:11 |
| xu-help45w | " | 17:11 |
| xu-help45w | i'm a archlinux user | 17:11 |
| xu-help45w | ^^ | 17:11 |
| xu-help45w | distribution switching is not my pro | 17:11 |
| xu-help45w | my favorite boot loader is syslinux | 17:12 |
| xu-help45w | ok, usb boot device with debian is created, i try this now | 17:13 |
| Unit193 | chaslinux: Indeed it can be easier in ways, I only approach it since Ubuntu isn't really an option for 32bit anymore. | 17:15 |
| xu-help45w | omg, the good old debian, it is over > 10 ago since i have installed debian | 17:18 |
| xu-help45w | years | 17:18 |
| xu-help45w | thx for helping me. bye | 17:36 |
| chaslinux | Yeah we used it years (2001-2004) ago as a base for our own custom distribution... I remember one of the first things we had to do was get the PS/2 mouse working... lol, fun times. | 17:49 |
