Ubuntu will drop 32-bit x86 arch entirely...
I'm all for squeezing some use out of old machines, but on the other hand: pretty much any x86 chip introduced since 2007 is 64-bit. If you need something super cheap, there's no dearth of used Core 2 rigs out there. And there are still distros aimed at even older hardware.

2038 is coming either we like it or not. The 32-bit Linux apocalypse is upon us. Might as well update before then
Why the fuck would you install Ubuntu on that kind of thing? I can't imagine it's even capable of running no matter how you configure it.
Oh no, 2% of the users of a 1% market share OS won't get the latest update unless they spend 200-400$ on a new computer.
I like the novelty of using old machines and all, but wouldn't something like that be better running a distro designed for that sort of thing?
I remember when Arch dropped x86 and no one cared but me and the few who are maintaining Arch Linux 32.
Anyone who says that surely hasn't used Cinnamon, Budgie, or Pantheon.
