| 32bit-#lubuntu | <reply> Lubuntu 18.04 LTS is the last version to support 32-bit processors & will be supported until 2021.

Discussion has been had to remove 32-bit packages from the archive. If `grep lm /proc/cpuinfo` succeeds, use 64-bit. | Added by wxl Date: 2019-05-03 18:38:10 Last edited by wxl Date: 2019-05-03 18:43:28 Requested 5 times |
