However, after 30 years, Ubuntu, a majorLinux distrois looking to end support for 32-bit processors.
It remains to be seen how these vintage systems cope with the new Ubuntu proposal.
64-bit processors become an order of the day in 2000s when AMD and Intel came out with 64-bit processors.
In last 20 years most PC/laptop processors sold by the two CPU makers were 64-bit chips.
It also helped that 64-bit chips blew past the 4GB memory limit giving users more power.
Canonical is not the first Linux vendor to end 32-bit support.
And OpenSUSE Leap never offered a 32-bit image.
