[17:46] <Manik2375> Greetings
[17:46] <Manik2375> I have a question, I have an old 32bit pc. Currently it has window 7, if I install ubuntu can I use chromium browsers like chrome latest version?
[17:47] <Manik2375> chrome website says `64-bit Ubuntu 18.04+, Debian 10+, openSUSE 15.2+, or Fedora Linux 32+`
[17:48] <xangua> I believe LUbuntu no longer supports 32 bit processor 
[17:48] <diogenes_Vx15> Manik2375, are you sure your CPU doesn't support 64 bit?
[17:48] <Manik2375> Oh I see
[17:48] <Manik2375> No, it do support 64bit
[17:49] <xangua> Debian still does tho
[17:50] <Manik2375> I was looking for some user friendly, with nice GUI
[17:50] <Manik2375> Can I upgrade my pc to 64bit myself? Or I need to go to technician?
[17:51] <LimeOn> 64 bit or 32 bits depends on processor
[17:51] <LimeOn> CPU
[17:51] <LimeOn> to obtain 64bits, you need to change that one
[17:52] <Manik2375> I once checked, it did say that it supports 64bit
[17:53] <Manik2375> I don't really want to upgrade that, because I mostly use it writing notes (because it has bigger screen than my laptop)
[17:54] <diogenes_Vx15> Manik2375, just boot a recent Linux ISO off an USB drive and you will find out whether if works or not because chrome doesn't only require 64 bit but also some instructions to be supported by the CPU.
[17:54] <LimeOn> you can check it using for example this guide: https://www.computerhope.com/issues/ch001121.htm
[17:54] <LimeOn> it has instructions on how to check processor architecture using windows
[17:56] <Manik2375> It says x86
[17:56] <LimeOn> It is a 32 bit system
[17:57] <Manik2375> diogenes_Vx15 I think I should try that
[17:58] <Manik2375> Yeah. LimeOn and diogenes and xangua, thanks for help. I think I should try booting it from usb first
[17:59] <LimeOn> yes, that is a good idea
[17:59] <Manik2375> I was hesitating because last time it wouldn't boot an os from usb so had to install that os first to find out problem. (I guess problem was with that os version)
[17:59] <Manik2375> But this looks like the only option. Once again thanks for help
[18:00] <diogenes_Vx15> Manik2375, use Etcher to write the ISO to USB drive.
[18:00] <Manik2375> I use rufus most of the time. Is etcher better?
[18:01] <diogenes_Vx15> Manik2375, don't use rufus for Linux ISOs.
[18:01] <Manik2375> Why not? Sorry I don't get it
[18:02] <diogenes_Vx15> Manik2375, because rufus does some weird shamaning so Linux ISOs don't boot correctly.
[18:02] <LimeOn> rufus worked for me in the past
[18:03] <Manik2375> Oh I see, I'll keep that in mind
[18:03] <diogenes_Vx15> i've had many users who couldn't boot or install a Linux distro because they used rufus.
[18:04] <Manik2375> I did had issues in booting before in that pc specifically
[18:04] <Manik2375> Thought problem might be related to that old version of os
