To look at windows it has become the monopoly desktop for gaming hence the Xbone crap and Nvidia and EPIC back scratching and platform looking. Nvidia Linux support is poor at the moment are most of the newer features only work on Windows 10 DX12. the plug a play gamer's on windows now are almost console minded they don't care about the technical the just load steam or epic or which ever launcher and sit back. Wine on Ubuntu is crappy Windows will always be the choice for native windows programs. If you moving to Ubuntu like gimp replace photo shop etc, Ubuntu are hoping more developers will build native Linus 64bit apps which complies with what required snaps rules so the game is then compatible with new Linux distros regardless of distro. Ubuntu often set the presidents for new moves but I am aware that most distros are slow discontinuing 32 bit support as they are trying to set a business standard which is the Linux bulk user. wine apps if your still using windows apps are you ready for LInux. For creative work I love Ubuntu 19.XX as it is so amazingly fluid to use but I can say never really been interests in playing -AAA- titles as those unfortunately are mostly lock and monopolised for windows. so of the no -AAA- are fully Ubuntu 64 bit snaps. running Wine to play -AAA- titles just seems backward. but all the windows gaming is killing what was they pro business. windows shop, Xbone shop and other windows bulk apps generally have no place on a work desktop which is Linux Core User. it like you want a OS which looks nice but you need no tech skills you go Mac, if you just want console focused you go windows 10 with all the update top up because let face it windows it now a heavily XBONE BOYs mecca which is while I hate learning with it over the years, I just seem to for ever removing bulk out of the system to do anything creative. Linux is the business end user mostly servers, code writing, file serving and of course massive open source community's of like minded tech head. the much so windows now has side server use to run terminal apps in windows. best solution two PC one linux one windows. Yes you can dual boot but the you can only be one on or the over at a time my perfect set two pc's, two screens.

Pop OS looks like a great replacement for Ubuntu.
Personally, I ran Ubuntu on two System76 laptops for a while, but I always ran RedHat or Fedora on my desktops.
Right now, I'm running Fedora 30 with the GNOME 3.32 Adwaita Dark Theme in 4K and I love it! It's beautiful!
However, without scaling, text can be hard to read for me. Fortunately, some applications provide a way to scale so that text becomes very sharp and easy to read with all of the additional pixels. I'll be happy when scaling just works out of the box for the entire desktop.
I tried the Wayland session but had stability issues with the XWayland crashing. Nevertheless, I look forward to Fedora 31 when Wayland finally might earn the position of becoming the graphics stack of choice.

Chris Titus Tech got an old Dell 1545 - I upgraded it to 8GM Ram, 1TB SSD, Intel T9900 cpu, 8265 wifi/bt card, and usb 3.0 ExpressCard used to connect an upgraded 1GB Ethernet & 3 port hub. I am now looking for a decent Linux distro to replace my Windows 11 install when it dies here in a month. I've already switched to LibreOffice & Firefox/Tbird on windows. I have three windows programs I use a lot: e-sword, quickload, and gcs that I will need to figure out how to load using Wine. Any ideas as to which distro would be the least hassle for switching?

I still like Ubuntu, I'm not interested in the politics, I like it cause it just works great. Out of the box. I've tried lots of the others, not found one thats a lot better. Some are better in some areas and often worse in others. Distrowatch have 287 distro's listed, I'm not gonna install 5% of them and contrast and compare for months to find a better match for me and by then many of the distros have moved on and you'd be stuck in a groundhog day of your own making. We should have far less distro's but better ones.

I am working with legacy software that has been carefully designed to be compiled as 32-bit. Revising it for 64-bit would require major changes in how it works with the memory. Unfortunately, now I have to use VMs with older Linux versions to compile this software.

I use to run a spinoff of Ubuntu (Kubuntu) because I use to like KDE better then GNOME. Now I stepped over to Manjaro with GNOME and I think I'm going to stick with it for a while. GNOME isn't so bad as a thought it was. I'm not a big gamer, but I'll give steam a try.

I pretty much started with Debian and still use it to this day, though I do also use some other distros link Manjaro. Ubuntu came across as the Linux version of an Apple fanboy OS or something. Just never really appealed to me. Oh well, no loss for me either way.

Hello, do you see any possible option to run a -google meet- class on a 32 bit linux (with 32 bit processor)? When I try to run it on Chromium, Google says it should run on the last versions (64 bit) of Chrome, Firefox or Edge...

Over 2/3 of the world can not afford new computers many are still running i386 i486 machines and really unless one is doing video rendering and wants it done in minutes even arch got a whole community arch linux32.

Never been a vanilla Ubuntu user, but have used Xubuntu since 12.04 and have begun looking at Mint. Considering they-re based on Ubuntu and my laptops are old 32 bit systems, I hope something hangs around.
