Reply to comment by zombie_berkman in Ubuntu to stop releasing 32-bit desktop ISOs by chaos
I dunno, a lot of distros are based on Ubuntu. If Canonical truly removes i386 support completely (which it seems they will do soon enough-- they're just providing security updates from what I understand, no?), then that's a huge chain of distros that will be without i386 support, or will have to put in quite a bit of extra effort to support it.
Not everyone on the planet has amd64... a lot of people only have i386 machines.

You or I can move to Debian easily, but the users of the main user-friendlies? Probably not.

FUD? Mate, I'm just saying that Debian isn't as user-friendly as Ubuntu and it's variants.
