32-bit in 2020? Debian Buster?

(1/2) > >>

sm8ps:
I understand that Ubuntu won't be fully available in a 32-bit flavor as of 20.04. Should I switch to Debian and if so can we expect to have dCore-Buster sometime? (Please forgive my ignorance! I have never used pure Debian, so I am not even sure about its release strategy or cycles.) Otherwise I will leave the 32-bit machines at dCore-bionic. Thanks for your advice!

Jason W:
Thanks for mentioning, I have promised to support older versions of existing Debian/Ubuntu dCores as well as 32 bit as long as Debian or Ubuntu supports it, and now Debian still does. I have a decent 32 bit machine 3.2ghz processor, 4G of ram, feeble on board video card which is the reason graphics are slow on it.  So I could test 32 bit.  I will look into a 32 bit dCore-buster.

AndresC2:
Hi jason W !

thank you for dcore

some notice about dCore Buster 32 bit ?

see you.

Jason W:
Hi AndresC2.  I was pondering a 32 bit dCore-buster, but lately I am interested in being able to focus my attention more on each dCore rather than diversify it across more ports.   I had previously said I would provide 32 bit dCores as long as Debian supported 32 bit, but there seems to be increasingly less demand for 32 bit as time goes on.

     hi jason w

     i use dcore stretch 32 
     and its a masterpiece

     i would also like to see (or at least hear about) a dcore buster 32
     but realize that your energies are limited

     this may not be the thread for it
     but what are your thoughts on a dcore buster 64 

     i am in no rush for anything more than dcore stretch 32
     since it is perfectly adequate for my needs and hardware
     and i am exploring using it as a base
     and putting more non debian stuff in it
     for example fredx portable firefox from the puppy forum
     runs and updates itself in dcore stretch 32 

     for what its worth my opinion is
     to concentrate only on debian
     since it think that will have the most support long term 

     anyway this post is just to solicit your thoughts on all this
     reply if you feel like it

     and thanks again for dcore
     its a truly extraordinary accomplishment

     ulfr
