What year is your computer? How old?

Interesting to see life breathed into this old thread.
Given the pending demise of LL 32bit in LL4.X onwards, what advice will we give to New(ish) convertees to linux in the future.  LL3.8 32bit , according to development roadmap, is scheduled to be supported until end first quarter 2021?  Believe  LL2.8 32bit is nearing its end of support  in circa 12 months.. (April 2019 ??)


So question  what to do for linux newbies - to help them through the transition , so they get confident to grow into another 32 bit distro later on?    LL community  becomes a Linux kindergarten?

My old Tosh A10  struggled with LL3.0 32bit whilst was happy with LL2.8 32 bit.  Ran much smoother with a debian distro (Point Linux - now dead).
Eventually sold it to someone who wanted to use XP!!  Hopefully it is still running somewhere
