It's no secret that experienced programmers prefer Linux to other operating systems. In addition to tradition, there are many reasons for this, in particular, the more harmonious logic of Linux. One of the most common builds - Ubuntu - will soon lose 32-bit images as computers grow in power and this market is constantly shrinking. According to Dmitry Ledkov, a developer at Canonical, a 64-bit system is now installed by default on laptops, desktop computers and servers, while the 32-bit “old lady” is the lot of narrow-purpose projects related, for example, to the Internet of Things. Therefore, support for older systems will be extended and users will be able to download security updates.
The release of the new version of Ubuntu 17.10 (Artful Aardvark) is scheduled for October 19, and you can already download it only for 64-bit architecture. However, the Lubuntu and Xubuntu distributions (these are simplified versions of Ubuntu for weaker systems) will most likely be released in 32-bit versions. What operating systems do you use?
