The goal is not to keep old machines alive. Actually the goal is not even to create a distro that will attract users of other Linux distros. The goal is to dispel myths about the the complexity of Linux and to ease the transition from Windows. A simple goal which I respect and appreciate.
I also suspect the a fair number of existing linux users that come to LL do so because the "advances" in the distros that they have used are beginning to overload their machines - i.e getting slower performance. They have found that by getting rid of all the unnecessary "bling" they can bring new life to their machines. ( many comments on this in the archive)
Regarding the 32-bit discussion:I think Jerry's stated goal..."to show Windows users that Linux is not the hard OS they thought or heard it was"...pretty much sums up why the support for 32-bit processors is disappearing. The focus is on transitioning current Windows users who are considering test driving Linux for the first time. My guess is the vast majority of that audience probably have machines built in the last decade running Windows 7, 8 or 10 (or God forbid Vista). If so, those machines pretty much all have 64-bit processors, right? The goal is not to keep old machines alive. Actually the goal is not even to create a distro that will attract users of other Linux distros. -----
Out of that 50% how many of those are 32bit only capable cpus? Sent from my Mobile phone using Tapatalk
