That may have been true in 2019, but here about a year later, 32-bit distros are getting thin on the ground. The most convenient (for me anyway) has been the BunsenLabs Lithium spin on 32-bit Debian....

I heard somewhere "You're not paranoid if they're really out to get ya..."

Since no-one else has had any input, I'll try to share what little I know. First, it appears that you have been doing what Ubuntu documentation suggests for Samsung printers (other than use something...

@imon57 - Backup practices vary. My personal routine is to use Grsync to copy my Home folder to my backup external hard drive. If I have to reinstall my Operating System, I will still have my data...

Yes, there is a difference. To create/modify/delete partitions, the drive needs to be unmounted. What that means in your case is that if you were able to use gparted from your operatng partition, you...

Debian, from which Ubuntu derives, still supports 32-bit machines, for older hardware that requires it. Setting up the desktop to you liking can be a bit of a chore, but is eminently doable:

IMHO, the greatest security vulnerabilities for the average home user will be from 1) social engineering (click this link!, answer this email!) 2) downloads of dubious origin ( videos, images, games,...

You don't need a whole SSD, you can even use a USB Flash Drive.

I'm not a photographer so I haven't needed the options you are looking for. Since no one else seems to have any suggestions here, you might want to try the options at the HPLIP Developers' website:

I don't do this personally, but could one possible reason be to utilize software for a particular task that was originally written as 32-bit, was never ported to 64-bit, and is not available as...

Thanks for the ideas,; I had no idea that Celerons were a version of Atom processors. It's too bad that there aren't any distro's to take advantage of old tablets (that I'm aware of). Big screen,...

Having owned a netbook (remember when those were a thing?) I try not to low-ball the specifications for my systems that I intend to do work on. That was why I was hoping for an extremely cheap way to...

"Keep on" as in truckin'

Ya know, I considered the notebook/laptop concept. The trouble I find is that the expense as well as the weight & size are deterrents. For example, I've got an older notebook with a decent battery...

Thank you for the links; very interesting. A touchscreen interface would be more portable, but my impression is that this is still a work-in-progress in Linux. You are definitely correct that cost...

So far, nobody has mentioned security. If you are at all concerned with avoiding identity theft, then security updates to your OS become an issue. Android on average seems to update their phones...

I want an inexpensive piece of hardware like a Raspberry Pi to use as a stand-alone anonymous web browser only. I want to boot it from removable storage or ROM media then run the OS and browser in...

If you're still having problems, it may have to do with the fact that Lubuntu 18.04 used the LXDE dektop while 20.04 uses the LXQt desktop. Since LXDE is being deprecated, it is no longer...

@jgw - I think Impavius is right. I believe that your best course will be to 1) back up all of the data you wish to keep (always a good idea anyway) and 2) perform a clean installation of your...

Have you tried using the proprietary Nvidia driver for your video card? Look in the Menu for 'Additional Drivers' to see whether or not you are using the open-source video driver or the proprietary...

@NoDeity - When I last had a problem with VLC, this is what fixed it:

1) Open LXTerminal (in Lubuntu) and type

Of course replace 'pcmanfm' with the name of your file manager...
