Looking at the ubuntu budgie ISO list file there are 32bit nvidia drivers installed.

Any ideas why?

Steve Langasek (vorlon) wrote :

Because when you install nvidia drivers, we want to pull in the i386 libraries and not just the amd64 ones to ensure 32-bit legacy apps (e.g. games) work correctly if installed. There is no way outside of the nvidia driver installation path to ensure that the 32-bit libraries get installed if needed.
