At the moment of writing this article, no one from Canonical has even bothered to answer Mr. It's true that there's a trend going on among GNU/Linux distribution vendors to drop support for 32-bit ISO images and provide users only with 64-bit ones and, of course, built-in multi-arch support. However, no real progress has been made in this regard, so we can only assume that it's not a top priority for the Ubuntu devs. This is not the first time someone opens this discussion, as we remember Bryan Quigley's proposal for Canonical to drop the 32-bit ISO images for the Ubuntu Linux operating system after the release of Xenial Xerus (Ubuntu 16.04 LTS). Which I am suggesting should be dropped." Many distributions have dropped support for 32-bit ISOs

"This is specifically about building, validating and shipping ubuntu-desktop-i386.iso, specifically for the Ubuntu Desktop flavour.

Imho, we should only test the relevant multiarch i386 pieces that are there to support 3rd-party, i386-only apps on amd64 desktop," says Dimitri John Ledkov.

While the developer is well aware of the fact that there are still many people with old hardware in this world, and that some of the most prolific software is running only on 32-bit libraries, such as Valve's Steam for Linux client, he strongly suggests that Ubuntu developers should no longer waste their time on the 32-bit ISO images for the OS and drop support for the i386 architecture for good. Even Google dropped support for Chrome on 32-bit Linux platforms, way back in 2015, predicting the overall trend.In the latest ubuntu-devel mailing list entry, open source software engineer Dimitri John Ledkov shares his thoughts on the matter of the 32-bit ISO images for the Ubuntu Linux operating system. Tails OS and Arch Linux have already dropped support for 32-bit ISOs with the release of Tails 3.02.01. Starting from November 2017, packaging will no longer require that from maintainers, effectively making i686 unsupported." "September and October will be our deprecation period, during which i686 will be still receiving upgraded packages.

"The decision means that v17.0.3 ISO will be the last that allows to install 32 bit Manjaro Linux," said Philip Müller, Manjaro OS Project Lead. The Manjaro team, another Linux distro, is scheduled to drop support for 32-bit architectures altogether by the end of November 2017. Linux distros are dropping 32-bit support left and right Lubuntu and Xubuntu, which are Ubuntu offshoots created to run on older computers, will most likely continue to provide 32-bit ISO images, as this is their bread and butter. The Ubuntu team plans to continue to offer security updates and bug fixes, but they won't be offering new ISO images. Ledkov made it clear that Canonical does not plan to stop support for 32-bit architectures.

* The Ubuntu archive with security updates Hence, due to a declining market share in desktop and server, Canonical has made the decision to stop putting out ISO images for the 32-bit (i386) architecture.

"Ubuntu website download pages have stopped advertising traditional i386 images for either desktop, server, or cloud, without any significant backslash and without any noticeable drops in the download rates," Ledkov wrote in May, also pointing out that Ubuntu 32-bit distributions are currently mainly used for purpose-built architectures, usually IoT devices. Ubuntu 21.10 desktop didn't support 32-bit CPU. "It is no longer the default, nor most widely used architecture on the traditional form factors: desktop, laptop, rack servers," said Ledkov in an internal mailing list discussion that started in May. Ubuntu 21.10 (Impish Indri) was released in October, 2021, it was preceded by version 21.04 and available for desktop / laptop computers and servers. Most Linux distros are running on 64-bit architectures The decision comes after month-long discussions on the dwindling market share of 32-bit architectures. Some folks may find the idea of using a 32-bit distribution of Linux to be downright silly. Canonical engineer Dimitri John Ledkov announced on Wednesday that Ubuntu does not plan to offer 32-bit ISO installation images for its new OS version starting with the next release - Ubuntu 17.10 (Artful Aardvark) scheduled for release on October 19.
