With Ubuntu considering dropping 32bit, is it time for the LL developers to look at switching from the Ubuntu base to "straight" debian? I have just started experimenting with Point Linux (XCFE 32 bit) on my Fuji Si1520 (2006) whose processor will not run 64bit OS but has plenty of life left in it. So far so good, no keyboard issues on set up , wifi found automatically etc.
Question therefore , is switching "bases" an option preserve the availability of LL to older machines beyond the Ubuntu 32 bit switch off?
