On http://www.ubuntu.com/desktop/get-ubuntu/download it shows the options for 32bit and 64bit
32-bit - Recommended for most users
64-bit - Not recommended for daily desktop usage
Why is 64-bit not recommended? I've used it for years and aside from netbooks (whose users would most likely choose UNE) I don't know if any computer released in the last few years that doesn't support 64-bit.
Unlike Microsoft's webpage for Windows 7, Ubuntu.com doesn't even an explanation as to the differences between 32 and 64-bit operating systems, nor how a user could tell if they can run it.
Apple even shows 64-bit as a positive bullet point in its Snow Leopard, why is Ubuntu treating 64-bit like a beta?
I understand there should be some precaution since the user may have a computer that doesn't run 64-bit, but I think the wording "not recommended for daily desktop usage" is poor. |
On the Ubuntu download page, no clue is given for why the 32-bit architecture is marked as recommended; but not the 64-bit one. Users interested in taking advantage of 64-bit architecture are leaded to the conclusion that it's possible the 64-bit version of Ubuntu has tangible disadvantages, and perhaps Ubuntu itself.
By specifying in the documentation the 64-bits version is the recommended one for most 64-bit computers doesn't address the issue, since the absence of the recommendation mark in the download page implicitly means the 64-bit is not recommended; so information given in the download page is in contradiction with that given in the documentation. |
