This has been the CRAZIEST week for Linux news. Possibly ever.
So Canonical said they were getting rid of 32-bit packages from Ubuntu 19.10. Then Valve said they wouldn't support Ubuntu 19.10, gamers, WINE, Ubuntu Studio, and many many others said that this was a bad idea.
From there, Canonical said they were changing their strategy and would be maintaining 32-bit packages. Only critical packages that are used all the time will be maintained through Ubuntu 20.04 LTS.
Finally, Valve have said that they welcome this reversal of course from Canonical and they believe they can support Ubuntu going forward.

# Why aren't you using other video services like LBRY or PeerTube?
I am on LBRY: lbry://@TheLinuxGamer#feb61536c007cdf4faeeaab4876cb397feaf6b51 and I also have a BitChute mirror.
Most PeerTube instances have a data quota that just doesn't serve my channel well. My videos are high-res (4K) and I'd exceed most quotas in one or two videos.
