Yes, you can use the AMD64 version for intel laptops. If you are using a 64-bit computer, you will download the amd64 version, regardless what brand of CPU you are using. If you are wondering, a 64-bit computer can run the i386 (32-bit) version of Ubuntu as well.
Since, Intel’s NUC devices basically uses Intel core i3 processors, which are well supported by Linux and Ubuntu, Ubuntu should be Ok on these devices. Note that there is nothing special in Windows to be eligible for running on an architecture, where Ubuntu can’t.
There is no problem with i3 ( Its a 64 bit processor and support 32bit mode as well). You can load any version of ubuntu to that.
Yet another question we ran across in our research was “Should I install Ubuntu on my Intel i7 processor?”.
Since you have Intel i7 processor, presumably you may have at least 4GB RAM. If so, go ahead, Buddy. Install 14.04 LTS 64 bit on your system. You would be amazed to see the performance of Ubuntu. I agree the releases of the desktop iso’s is confusing.
Is there a 64-bit daily build of Ubuntu for Intel CPUs?
Yes, there is a 64-bit daily build of Ubuntu Raring Ringtail (soon to be Ubuntu 13.04) for Intel cpus. In fact, you mentioned it: it’s the one that is called “64-bit PC (AMD64) desktop image”.
Back to the Ubuntu ISO download issue, if you are using a 32-bit computer, you will down load the i386 version.
If you are using a 64-bit computer, you will download the amd64 version, regardless what brand of CPU you are using. If you are wondering, a 64-bit computer can run the i386 (32-bit) version of Ubuntu as well. It is just that you are not utilizing your computer to the maximum.
Will Ubuntu 20 04 run on my configuration?
Ubuntu 20.04 will run on your configuration. But might be possible slow performance you will get. Because 20.04 version has heavy graphics and animations. I hope this answer will help you.
Ubuntu what kernel version?
Canonical adds “ Ubuntu ” Ubuntu kernel-release = 5.4.0-12.15-generic kernel version is 5.4, which is identical to upstream stable kernel version.0 is an obsolete parameter left over from older upstream kernel version naming practices.
-generic is kernel flavour parameter, where -generic is the default Ubuntu kernel flavour Mainline kernel-version = 5.4.8 Kernel and OS releases Canonical provides long-term support (LTS) kernels for Ubuntu LTS releases.
Find Linux kernel using uname command uname is the Linux command for getting system information. You can also use it to find out whether you’re using a 32-bit or 64-bit system. This means that you’re running Linux kernel 4.4.0-97, or in more generic terms, you are running Linux kernel version 4.4. But what do the other digits mean here?
This means that you’re running Linux kernel 4.4.0-97, or in more generic terms, you are running Linux kernel version 4.4. But what do the other digits mean here? Let me explain: generic – Distribution-specific string. For Ubuntu, it means I’m using the desktop version. For Ubuntu server edition, it would be ‘server’.
How do I update the Linux kernel in Ubuntu?
In the following method, we will update the kernel version by first downloading the latest version from the Ubuntu kernel team site and then installing it. For this method, follow these steps to update the kernel version: Open the Ubuntu kernel team site to download the latest Linux kernel for Ubuntu.
