More on the Ubuntu 32 bit story. It appears that they are walking it back a bit now, stating that they will support 32bit libraries on future releases, BUT, they will be locked at the 18.04 libraries, no updates to them. They said this on some discord forum, not exactly getting the word out. According to a youtuber below, who I watch frequently, the LinuxMint team and the POP OS team will be maintaining their own 32bit libraries, regardless of what Canonical does, as he discusses the issue.
I tend to agree with him that Ubuntu proper is going to see people deciding to use other distros, whether it be those derivatives that choose to maintain 32bit libraries or other distros altogether like Arch, OpenSuSe, Fedora and so on.
