Yes. As computers without 64bit have become increasingly rare, we have chosen to focus our resources on higher-quality 64bit builds. But on the Download page: https://neon.kde.org/download we see: Download Source ISOs Install using ROSA Image Writer for Windows Linux 32-bit Linux 64-bit Mac OS X Should the ROSA Linux 32-bit link be shown? If KDE neon really is only 64-bit, implying you can install it using ROSA Image Writer for Linux 32-bit is misleading, and might/would lead to some unhappy results. Administrator Kubuntu Forums .

It says KDE neon will install using the Linux 32-bit version of ROSA, not that KDE neon installs on 32-bit systems Hi, I'm Ivan, a competent computer user (which means geek to most). I run KDE neon Developer when it works and KDE neon User when Developer doesn't work. Hope I helped you with any problems you may have had

At least the generic libraries like libxkbcommon0 because at the moment it is not possible to install libsdl2-2.0-0:i386.

In general I can install 32 bit libraries, but not in special cases like this. The problem is that only the 64 bit version was updated. So the versions are different and I think Dpkg don't like this. EDIT: As example: Code: Select all `Die folgenden Pakete haben verletzte Abhängigkeiten: libxkbcommon0 : Beschädigt: libxkbcommon0:i386 (!= 0.7.0-1+16.04+build2) aber 0.5.0-1ubuntu2 soll installiert werden. libxkbcommon0:i386 : Beschädigt: libxkbcommon0 (!= 0.5.0-1ubuntu2) aber 0.7.0-1+16.04+build2 ist installiert.`

I second this as there's quite a few programs that require this and cant be installed. PCSX2 being one of them!
