I don't think that this is really a problem.
586 CPU is not common around here for few years already, if not for more, can't say for sure!
But Debian team needs to be more PR professional I believe, because many of readers will think that Debian will drop x32 support at all!
Well, so long as I can install all needed multimedia codecs anyway - I didn't think that it's a problem.
Mint got returned to his roots by the way, or I forgot something?
It was not basing their release on Ubuntu for last few releases so far I can remember.
Maybe it will get better!
Sure, systemd is a future but why we need to be glad about that?!
I'd really like to have a choice here, even a little
We have much of examples and tutorials here https://serversuit.com/communi... which inevitably will be useless over time
And we spent much of time and effort writing them.
So I think at least not to be very glad is a normal:)
I’m afraid it’s a wishful thinking and nothing more. It will be an ‘OS for not-almost-geeks’, maybe for those who interested, but definitely not for everyone.
If you’re using Office, and have attracted to Word/Excel/Outlook, you can’t just start using LibreOffice without much pain, if you’re usual user. You’ll just look for that, try something, probably face a problem you didn’t know how to deal with, and return back. And of course, casual users just didn’t need ‘professional programming tools’ at all.
I have an experience of installing Kubuntu for my relatives while they used this old laptop only for web-browsing, and it was normal (it was before the iPad era begins), but you can guess: ‘Hey, I’d bring this cool card game from my friend on my flash why can’t I run it on my laptop?!’
What I want say is that if Ubuntu will be absolutely brillliant OS far better that all others by any means, even that will not means quick and easy migration from Windows to Ubuntu. It’s just because of old habits and existing workflows for almost all of us.
I really glad that there is an option here, and you can try and choose, but you didn’t need to be extra optimistic, I heard this song about Ubuntu and Linux for 15 years at least. I also reviewed this topic shortly here.
