Can anyone tell me the maximum number of logical as well as the maximum number of physical processors supported in the latest release of Ubuntu?  In the documentation online, I've found the 8 processor support for 32 bit, and 256 processors for 64 bit, but it is unclear whether it is referring to logical or physical processors.  Thanks

I think this is kernel dependent and probably will change over time depending on the kernel a release uses, correct me if wrong  I'd like to know two things for all the currently supported Ubuntu releases:  How many maximum CPUs can Ubuntu handle (by default) at the same time with a standard desktop kernel? Is that count different from a server kernel and 32bit/64bit systems?  Where can I find that information on my system?

I've an  Notebook with an  CPU. The Asus site says that the maximum RAM is 8&nbsp;GB, but Intel's says my CPU supports 16&nbsp;GB. What is the maximum RAM I can use on this system under Ubuntu?

For a given hardware configuration, how do I find out if Ubuntu will run on it? What considerations should I take into account when choosing an Ubuntu version and  such as:    with a lighter desktop than the usual Gnome and Unity  with the even lighter LXDE desktop   Obviously Ubuntu does not run on some processor architectures. So how do I go about choosing the right version and derivate. How can I find out the minmal system requirements?

I just want to know, what is the difference between ubuntu Minimal, Desktop &amp; Server Editions? How they differ? is it by performance? If yes which one is recommended for a normal user and which one is recommended for a advanced user ?

I wanted to find out how many cores my system has, so I searched the same question in Google. I got some commands such as the lscpu command. When I tried this command, it gave me the following result:  $ lscpu Architecture:          x86_64 CPU op-mode(s):        32-bit, 64-bit Byte Order:            Little Endian CPU(s):                4 On-line CPU(s) list:   0-3 Thread(s) per core:    1 Core(s) per socket:    4 Socket(s):             1 NUMA node(s):          1 Vendor ID:             GenuineIntel CPU family:            6 Model:                 23 Stepping:              10 CPU MHz:               1998.000 BogoMIPS:              5302.48 Virtualization:        VT-x L1d cache:             32K L1i cache:             32K L2 cache:              2048K NUMA node0 CPU(s):     0-3   In particular, this output shows:   CPU(s): 4 Core(s) per socket: 4 CPU family: 6   Which of those indicates cores of a Linux system?  Is there any other command to tell the number of cores, or am I assuming it is completely wrong?

My processor is Intel core i3 inside x64 bit and RAM is 4 gb. When I used Windows 7 Intel was successfully installing, but now I am using Ubuntu 14.04 and Intel Installer makes me crazy!!! I've tried to change lsb-release, but is doesn't help me. I tried to reinstall signature and Intel Installer, but everything is the same!  I heard  was on Ubuntu 14.10, but not on Ubuntu 14.04.1 LTS. If someone knows why I have this error please help me...

I would like to know how many Primary and Extended Partitions I can create on a x86_64 PC with Linux running on it?     Update  : If there is a limit to the number of partitions, why is that the limit?

I was wondering how to list all the hardware info in my computer?   Both terminal and GUI solutions please. Is there a single utility to monitor most hardware's working status? Just like some software in Windows?   Thanks and regards!

, you have the following two options:        64-bit   32-bit (for machines with less than 2GB RAM)      Assuming you have a 32-bit machine with the maximum 4GB of RAM, will Ubuntu will work on that?

I just bought the new hp spectre x360 dual-core i7, 8 GB ram and 256 SSD. Will Ubuntu run on this computer without issue or is it not yet supported?

I'm trying to detect what filesystems a kernel can support. Ideally in a little list of their names but I'll take anything you've got.  Note that I don't mean , just ones that the current kernel could, theoretically support directly (obviously, fuse could support infinite numbers more).

I've got a 32-bit Ubuntu installation running on 64-bit hardware. Now that , I would like to switch to 64-bit without having to reinstall the OS.  This is one of the :  Shawn installed his system using the 32-bit version of Ubuntu, but his hardware is 64-bit and he wants to switch over. He manually installs the amd64 versions of dpkg and apt, replacing the i386 versions and changing which architecture is used as the default; then he installs the amd64 ubuntu-minimal package; then he installs the amd64 ubuntu-desktop package. Over time the remaining i386 packages are replaced automatically on upgrade.  However, when trying to follow the instructions in there, I cannot find any 64-bit version of dpkg or apt.  Did this user story got implemented in a different way in the final spec, or do I need to do something differently?  In short, how can I switch my 32-bit installation to 64-bit?

I have a Supermicro AS-2022G-URF (H8DGU motherboard) with 2 AMD Opteron 6272 16C/16T 2.1GHz and an LSI MegaRAID SAS 2108 RAID controller currently running Ubuntu Server 14.04 LTS (scheduled to be upgraded to 16.04 this summer). Several times over the last year, when I have done aptitude update/upgrade, the intel-microcode package has shown up as one of the packages that will be installed. Since this server has AMD processors, not Intel, Why does aptitude offer this package? Is it in any way necessary for other reasons? Any ill effects from going along with aptitude on this?

Does a laptop with Ryzen 3 2200u and Vega 3 work without issues with stock install of Debian 9 or Ubuntu 18.04?  I dont want to install drivers! Not to mention compile a patched kernel.  I have to choose between Core i3 6006u and Ryzen 3 2200u.  I know that Intel SoCs work out of the box on Linux. So they seem like a safe choice.  Any experiences? Does anyone of you own such a laptop?

One of the local college in my home town in India is planning to implement mass distribution and usage of Ubuntu Linux for the purpose of education. I have been asked by my CTO to look into the matter and bring out some valuable suggestions with which we can roll out multiple installations on more than 450 computers!  I have know a way in Windows that uses the Ghost technique to address this issue. Our purpose is similar in this case but don't know how to proceed further. I have been using Ubuntu for the past six months to get the feel and understanding of the OS and I have to admit it that from the very first day, I was almost into it learning, reading, learning and asking others to use it too. Just amazing!  Help in any form is appreciated.  Note: All the 450 computers are of different configurations/variety of different motherboards, hard drives, ram, etc. But they all meet the minimum criteria for Ubuntu installation's hardware requirement.

I can't understand what these are even though I've read articles about them.  Does it have something to do with 32 bits and 64 bits CPU? So why is it saying "AMD"64 and "i386"?  AMD is a label just like Intel? So, if I've got an Intel Core 2 Duo (MacBook Pro), then I can't use AMD64 even though Intel Core is 64 bits.
