[PLUG] Looking for help with Chrome on lubuntu 14.04 trusty i386

[Greg Helledy <gregsonh@gra-inc.com>]

Unfortunately, Chrome is the gateway to several multimedia-type services 
on linux, and the end of 32-bit Chrome is rendering a lot of machines 
unusable for those.

I posted last week about a new Dell 2-in-1, which I bought because my 
trusty laptop with its 32-bit Pentium M CPU, running the version of Mint 
based on 14.04, is finally functionally obsolete for me.  It seems that 
2016 is shaping up to be the year when 32 bit computing can no longer be 
considered mainstream.

The big PC manufacturers were still delivering desktops and laptops with 
32-bit versions of Windows up until fairly recently.  A lot of consumers 
bought them not knowing the difference, and some who did chose 32-bit 
since it offered better compatibility with older software (games, 
mostly).  I wonder whether these consumers are going to start running 
into trouble as software makers drop 32-bit versions?
