   Before I leave Sweden I will do something about this ... Ubuntu 14.04 ... laptop.

     Is 32 bits supported in 20.04?

     This 32-bit 1 GiB Core Duo machine running Ubuntu 14.04 is snappier by far than the 64-bit 4 GiB AMD E1 machine on Ubuntu 20.04 at home.

     / is 35 GiB, it has Ubuntu and Nix and Guix and it has 0 bytes free. I'm glad it was kind enough to boot.

     @bkhl Yeah.
     
     Actually my original plan was Guix System or NixOS, but I waited too long so now I'm short on time and need to aim for minimally invasive surgery.
     
     I'll try to free some space and then see how far I get upgrading to one LTS after another.

     @clacke nope, but there's still Debian you know. 🙂

     @clacke @bkhl GUIX System is 64 bit only too, alas, though the stable binary is available in i686

     Oh! Actually the VG has free space. Thank you, past me!

     @clacke maybe you can do it that way and start removing conflicting packages once you get past 18.04. Though you'll probably still need to switch desktop if you were using the default (Gnome) Ubuntu desktop.

     It's XFCE already. Gnome was a bit heavy for 1 GiB already back in 2014 or even earlier.

     do-release-upgrade worked from trusty/14 -> xenial/16 -> bionic/18 with quite a bit of manual adjustments each step to help everything install without conflicts.
     
     focal do-release-upgrade got some signature error, but it could be that it just failed to download due to lack of i386 support.

     So now I added sources for focal and just apt upgraded things. There is only partial binary support for i386, so I'm locally running builds for e.g. python3-simplejson and python3-cffi-backend.
     
     Also building guile 3 from source so I can build latest guix.

     My return home was postponed by travel rules, so maybe I'll still have time to put NixOS on this thing, but first I'll get it up to speed with what it has.

     @clacke on that note... I'm going to check out Enlightenment.org tomorrow. Looks nice and light weight, and packaged in most Linux distros already.

     Plus I'm nostalgic, haven't run it in 20 years

     nooo cffi-backend has test failures. So that's why no binaries.

     `guild compile` will print "still going" if it didn't output any text for several minutes. I wonder how many people get to see that.

     pypi has cp38-manylinux1-i686 wheels for cffi 1.14.0 and other versions. Ubuntu-specific failures? Does upstream run when before building i686?

     Oh but oldstable is too old and stable is too new, so can't drop them into ubuntu even if it would otherwise work.

     Aaand now suddenly after a perfectly orderly and civil soft reboot it can't luksOpen the /home partition. What.

     Rolling back to udev/bionic and cryptsetup/bionic made it work again. Phew.
