Which Ubuntu version works best for my system (see below)?

Question

my configuration: Sony Vaio laptop, Windows 7 Starter service pack 1, 32-bit; 1GB RAM, 250 HD which Ubuntu version works best? Had downloaded and booted (USB, Rufus) version 18.04.1. LTS amd64, get error message /casper/vmlinuz.file not found

And the winner is: 16.04.5-desktop-i386.iso. The only release that worked. Thx. — dju, Aug 07 '18 at 19:38

So the best version of Ubuntu will be the latest version for 32 bit systems, in this case, Ubuntu 16.04 LTS. Canonical dropped support 32 bit in new releases (scr: https://itsfoss.com/ubuntu-drops-32-bit-desktop/ )

You can download it from here: http://releases.ubuntu.com/16.04/

Click on: ubuntu-16.04.5-desktop-i386.iso 2018-07-31 01:14 1.5G Desktop image for 32-bit PC (i386) computers (standard download)

why not a 32-bit 18.04 ubuntu derivative? – Rinzwind Aug 07 '18 at 13:26
@dju did you prepared image with Rufus or something? – Null0007 Aug 07 '18 at 13:32
@Rinzwind because there is no ubuntu 18.04 for 32 bits systems? Maybe Xubuntu or another Ubuntu Budgie still have 32 bit version. – Null0007 Aug 07 '18 at 13:33

Mind the "derivative"... – Rinzwind Aug 07 '18 at 13:34
