Unsurprisingly, Ubuntu has planned to follow the same path that other major distributions have, and drop 32bit ISO images for upcoming releases.
Dimitri John Ledkov from Canonical, sent out a message through their mailing list to the release team, instructing them to not release a 32bit ISO for the upcoming Ubuntu release.
Apr 27, 2018 - Another big change, which will surely stoke controversy, is that that Canoncial is no longer providing 32-bit installer images of Ubuntu. Ubuntu 16.04 LTS is currently distributed as two Live ISO images for the Desktop Edition, suitable for deployment on 64-bit (amd64) or 32-bit (i386) hardware architectures, and five ISOs for the Server Edition, which is also available for s390x, PowerPC 64-bit Little Endian (PPC64el), and PowerPC (PPC) architectures.
Ledkov says, “Dear Release team, Please action the below and remove Ubuntu Desktop i386 daily-live
images from the release manifest for Beta and Final milestones of 17.10 and therefore do not ship ubuntu-desktop-i386.iso artifact for 17.10. As a followup to this thread it has been confirmed that argumentation below is sound, and furthermore there is no longer any effective qa or testing of the desktop product on actual i386 hardware (explicitly non x86_64 CPUs). There are no other changes requested to d-i, mini.iso, archive, or the upgrade paths. Regards, Dimitri.”

As I reported just a few days ago, Manjaro has also done the same thing, and we can be sure that more distributions will likely be following suit in the near future as well.
Current Ubuntu users don’t need to fear however as just like with Manjaro, you are able to upgrade your current installation to the newest release when it comes out, and still keep your 32bit system; this decision will only affect users looking to install Ubuntu fresh from an ISO from the website.

However, that being said, if you really want to run Ubuntu, and you really want it to be 32bit, you do have another option; install Ubuntu via the minimal install ISO. Granted, that will only give you the absolute base of Ubuntu and nothing else, so if you are not comfortable setting up a system from barebones, then perhaps it’s not for you.
The initial proposition that Ledkov sent out on May 3, reads,
“It is no longer the default, nor most widely used architecture on the traditional form factors: desktop, laptop, rack servers.
But i386 is becoming more of a purpose built architecture, similar to how in the past 'embedded' devices label was applied. Today, I would call it an IoT; single purpose device; and a cloud/container guest architecture.
Ubuntu website download pages have stopped advertising traditional i386 images for either desktop, server, or cloud, without any significant backslash and without any noticeable drops in the download
rates.
Therefore I would like to propose the following change of scope for the i386 architecture'.
Continue to provide for i386
- The Ubuntu archive with security updates
- Ubuntu Core snappy architecture images
- Cloud images
- Container images
- Server subiquity img/iso
- netinst
Discontinue to provide for i386
- Server classic img/iso
- Desktop live
So, as you can see, existing i386 installations will still receive proper updates.
Final Thoughts
With Ubuntu now jumping onto the bandwagon of discontinuing 32bit ISO downloads, it’s only a matter of time before more and more distributions follow suit. How long will it take? I personally give it a year, tops.

This distribution is oriented to squeezing out all the power from limited computers, at the same time as providing extra battery time as it´s also focused towards minimizing battery use.
As a consequence of all this, the applications included in this distribution are light and respectful with the system´s resources, in which you can find Chromium, Sylpheed, Pidgin, Transmission, GPicView, Audacious or Abiword. This doesn´t mean you can´t install other applications. As a matter of fact, Lubuntu shares repositories with Ubuntu, so we can install any application supported by its base distribution.
Lubuntu´s management is very similar to Ubuntu´s one, maybe more similar to its first versions, but keeping the elements that make it reign the world of Linux desktop distributions.
If you´re used to work with Ubuntu, you need to use less resources and Xubuntu doesn´t convince you, Lubuntu can be the best option to squeeze the best out of your computer.

It's time to update your Ubuntu distributions, especially now that the latest release of Ubuntu 16.04 is LTS (Long Term Support), meaning it's supported until 2021. Code-named Xenial Xerus, its two main features are: readjusting that lateral panel in the lower corner of your screen, and that users are now able to access Snap packages that'll allow them to install apps from bundles in which basic units are already provided.

Canonical continues to adhere to its Ubuntu release calendar in lockstep, meaning now you can download the latest version (15.10) of Ubuntu. It’s the next version that comes with LTS (Long-Term Support), so in this case we’re just talking about a package with minor upgrades that refine and update (but not revolutionize) the popular Linux distribution, with certain minor changes to its interface and updates to most of the software it includes. The update also is available for the rest of the flavors.
