When should i386 support for Ubuntu end? Help Canonical decide

Quoting: leillo1975I think that Ubuntu 32bits has no sense. Other thing is the light flavours of Ubuntu like Lubuntu and Xubuntu. I manage a lot of old machines (Pentium 4 with 1GB RAM) that with xUbuntu 32bits can do something useful in my job.

That is not how it works. All these Ubuntu flavors are not independent distributions. They are based on the Ubuntu. So if it drops 32 bit support, so do they.

In my humble opinion, Ubuntu on the server is called Debian. But then I may be a bit biased. :)

32 bit is mostly useful for reviving old hardware, but again, Ubuntu is not particularly optimized to be run on legacy hardware, so you are probably better off with a more lightweight distribution anyway.

So in the end, it is not something I am going to lose sleep over.

Humble PC & Android Bundle 14 is live!

Quoting: ElectricPrismHB feels like they've run out of great content versus how many times they do a bundle each year.

They are probably trying to keep the best stuff for their blind monthly bundles. And even those are kind of meh, especially for Linux users.

I know that if I get this, I will just end up with more games I will never play. And I don't game on my phone. So yeah, maybe. :)

Quoting: liamdaweFirst Brexit and now the GOLEXIT, my world today has been crushed. Send help.

I actually thought that it was your post, Liam. Then I was wondering how upset you must be about brexit to sign up for the Finnish army. :)

And so it begins, the Steam Summer Sale is here

I have not been able to access the Steam store yet. I guess it'll have to wait until tomorrow. :(

Buy games from G2A? You should just stop already, tinyBuild lost out on approx $450K of sales

Can somebody explain to me how would G2A "suddenly get a bunch of keys"? Where do they come from?

Want to play the classic racer Need For Speed II SE on Linux? There's an open source engine for that

I may be mistaken, but as far as I know they disassembled the game binaries. That would make it a bit problematic in a legal sense.

Steam's Summer Sale to apparently begin on June 23rd

Quoting: Mountain Man(Pro tip: Never let your significant other see the "hours played" in your Steam library!).

Honestly I don't think it matters. I have almost no time for games, I maybe average an hour a week (and that's mostly because of the one or two weekends a year I can binge play). My wife still bitches at me about my steam library.

The bushido code states that if presented with a choice between a wife and a Steam library, one chooses Steam library. Always.
