The 32-bit images for Xubuntu have been discontinued

Apr 22, 2019 15:17 GMT  ·  By

Xubuntu 19.04 arrived as part of the Ubuntu 19.04 (Disco Dingo) operating system series bringing some important changes to this lightweight official Ubuntu Linux flavor.

Xubuntu 19.04 is here as the first release of the lightweight Ubuntu flavor based on the Xfce desktop environment to no longer offer 32-bit ISO images that would allow users to install the Linux-based operating system on computers from 15 or 20 years ago. Xubuntu 19.04 is now only supported on 64-bit systems.

"In December, the team voted to discontinue 32-bit images for Xubuntu 19.04 and forward. If you want to continue using Xubuntu with 32-bit architectures, Xubuntu 18.04 is supported for 3 years, and the Xubuntu package set can be installed from the Minimal CD," said the development team in the release notes.

What's new in Xubuntu 19.04

Featuring the same internal improvements implemented by Canonical in Ubuntu 19.04 (Disco Dingo), the Xubuntu 19.04 release ships with the latest Xfce 4.13.3 desktop environment and several new components, including the GIMP image editor, AptURL utility for installing DEB packages from URLs, as well as LibreOffice Impress and Draw.

Additionally, it adds some new keyboard shortcuts to improve your workflow, such as Shift+PrintScreen to launch Xfce Screenshooter in region capture mode, F4 to open the Terminal in the current path in the Thunar file manager, and Ctrl+Shift+F or Cmd+Shift+F to open Catfish in the current path within Thunar.
