PSA: Ubuntu 19.10 to end x86 32-bit support

[Matthew Crews]

For those that haven't seen it, Ubuntu 19.10 and derivatives are going
to end official x86 32-bit support. This is not just the end of 32-bit
ISOs though; they are also removing ALL 32-bit packages from their repos.

This will have serious ramifications for those that use Ubuntu and want
to use 32-bit software, device drivers, and the like.

For now the best options appear to be:

1. Run your software in a VM, chroot, snap, or container
2. Stay on Ubuntu 18.04 or earlier and do not upgrade
3. Use a different OS altogether.

I'm opting to phase Ubuntu out completely personally.
