The only PPA's are for Gimp, Wine and Systemback - they have not let us down to date.Isn't this just Google bashing? That Google stopped with 32-bit support is their valid decision to make and execute. Not yours to judge Jerry. They didn't had to ask for your permission. That most users experienced problems during updating was easy to fix. That does not mean that Google is bad and evil, they purely made a decision to create their path onwards to the future. And beside that, 32-bit systems are dying out. The percentage of 32-bit systems are getting slimmer by the day. So, if you aks me, Google made a good choice and doesn't deserved to be bashed like this for nothing.
[b]Google Software - Once burned, twice shy. The Google PPA issues this year has left a sour taste in my mouth. No Google products will appear in Lite Software for the entirety of Series 3. You can still get Chrome etc from the internet. A huge thank you to those who helped people who's Updates were not working. I know this has been a p.i.t.a. and I would like to recognize this community for assisting people with the Google fix. We'll look at reintroducing Google software in Lite Software in Series 4. Let's see how things pan out over time.
