What is the difference between 32-bit and 64-bit Ubuntu? I've heard the 64-bit platform performs better and can detect more than 4GB of RAM. Also, while some apps haven't ported to 64-bit yet, ia32-libs lets a 64-bit machine run them.  If so, why not promote 64-bit over 32-bit?

I'd like to install Ubuntu server on my machine, is there a step-by-step instructions on how to accomplish that or a guide that will just go through the basic steps of installing Ubuntu Server from beginning to end.  Instructions originally for 13.04.

I am considering buying a Dell XPS 15 laptop. The laptop has a Nvidia 420m card which should work with Linux but I keep reading that the Nvidia Optimus technology isn't supported on Linux. I am not really interested in switching from Nvidia to Intel to save power but need to know that the Nvidia card will in fact work if I installed Ubuntu.  If anyone has experience using a Nvidia card with Optimus technology or even better the exact laptop in question (Dell XPS 15 with 1GB NVIDIA® GeForce®  GT 420M) it would be great.  A major problem holding people back from adopting Linux is this sort of hardware issue. I am a long term Ubuntu user and supporter who can't afford to make a mistake with a purchase like this. I don't want to spend £500+ to find I have no graphics acceleration because Windows 7 is not an option.

I tried to install Ubuntu 20.04 in my Dell G5 which has 2 drives. One with Windows 10 on it (256 GB) and another one with 1 TB capacity.   I shrunk the volume of 1 TB by 150 GB and tried to install there.  But Ubuntu installer didn't allow me as I got a dialog after the Keyboard setting said "Turn Off RST" with the message      This computer uses Intel RST (Rapid Storage Technology). You need to   turn off RST before installing Ubuntu. For instructions, open this   page: help.ubuntu.com/rst   If I make any changes in the BIOS setting, like changing the Intel controller from RAID to AHCI, Windows won't boot and goes into System Recovery.   I didn't have this issue when installing 18.04. While creating the partitions, you need to create a EFI partition with 200 - 500 MB with the usual steps and the installation will be completed succesfully.   On restarting, you will not be getting the GRUB but instead Ubuntu will boot by default. If you need to boot Windows, you will have to go to the BIOS and choose from the UEFI boot option each time.   Once 18.04 installation is complete, you can upgrade it to 20.04.   After upgrading I installed the KDE desktop and at the login screen I chose the "Ubuntu on Wayland" option.    After doing these 2 things, I lost the new features of 20.04 like the Ubuntu boot screen with Dell logo and the power off/log out blur effect screen. Not sure how to get that back.

I have Dell Laptop that is 15 5567 7th Generation. So it was maybe pre-installed as Dell says and I can see in the product information that this laptop is Ubuntu built in and based not Windows.  So I want to get my Ubuntu OS again. How can I do that?

Currently I'm running Ubuntu 11.10 64 Bit on my laptop and I want to install some Windows programs with Wine (Dreamweaver CS5/Starcraft II etc) but these programs require the 32Bit version of Wine to work even being in a 64Bit environment... I'm a Fedora user most of the time and in that distro installing 32Bit versions of apps inside of a 64Bit system is never a problem, but didn't find a way to do that on Ubuntu.

I want to ask a question I am a new user to Ubuntu and I am    going to install it on my PC and Remove Windows as I have read a lot    about Ubuntu and how it's solid based system and that it's more    stable and stronger but to be honest I am a bit afraid of installing    it as I don't have the drivers CD so Does Ubuntu need drivers or not    ? and how do I check that all the drivers are installed and updated    and work correctly ? and If I want to install a driver will Ubuntu    help me to search for it and install it ?  and will Ubuntu install the sound card . the internet card and the graphics etc. automatically or not waiting for your replies    cheers :)

I downloaded and installed Ubuntu from the official site. However, I don't know if I installed the 32-bit or 64-bit version.  In Windows 7 I could right click My Computer and it listed which version it was.  Is there an easy way to check in Ubuntu?

I tried to install a 64bit Anaconda on 32bit Ubuntu(thought I had 64bit) and it stopped in error,so before installing the correct version should I get rid of what is already installed to avoid conflict and keep memory clear, and if so how would I go about it? I am a big time Linux newbie by the way. Thanks for any tips.

I can buy Dell Latitude E7270 through my employer. It will come with Windows, but I would like to install Ubuntu (most likely 14.04). This model does not appear on the list of certified hardware, however. Does anyone know whether I should anticipate any problems with his laptop? Thanks!

I'm installing Ubuntu from an Ubuntu Minimal image, and I've gotten to the software selection part. What I'm wondering is, which packages are included in the "Basic Ubuntu Server" option?    I'm assuming it's a bundle of packages, but which exactly are included in it?

I wonder if someone can help me? I am fairly new to trying to actually understand and use computers myself rather than just buying whatever Windows/Mac wants me to! You will get a giggle from my flawed attempts anyway :-)  I would like to start using Ubuntu on my PC, just got a new harddrive and did have a borrowed windows 7 disk as was planning to temporarily install it so i could get ubuntu. However I didn't have high enough spec hardware for win 7 (I think it is due to only 1gb ram, i do have 64 bit technology and a 1tb harddrive). I am quite happy to install 32 bit ubuntu and hear it is easier the use than 64 anyway.  So I have one other rubbish mini laptop (windows xp) which i am trying to use to get ubuntu onto a usb (laptop has no cd drive) so i can install it on the pc. First tried just downloading ubuntu 13.04 desktop onto a usb and trying to boot the pc from it which gave the message 'no operating system'. Then I tried this to create a bootable usb which sounded promising:  . However then it starting asking for my saucy desktop iso in order to install it onto the usb stick, can't really manage to find out what a saucy desktopp iso is, maybe a mirror image of an operating system, no idea why i would need that.  So in short, I'm lost. All I can think of is getting windows xp somewhere so i can get my pc to work and install ubuntu from the internet on that, or going to a friends house in the hope that creating a bootable cd is easier than creating a usb.  Sorry for my general ineptness and hope someone can help!
