The official website made this unclear. I have been having problems with running executable files on the BPI image of Mate so I'd like to just use an official version so that I don't encounter problems like this. Are there any versions that work on these processors? (I use a 32-bit A7 processor)

    I'm talking about the different versions, not servers. (mate , lubuntu, etc) – Anoraki Aug 29 '17 at 12:01

    All downloads that have "arm" in it And the server is the base of ALL versions ;-) Like http://ports.ubuntu.com/ubuntu-ports/dists/zesty/main/installer-arm64/current/images/netboot/ does. Btw you need 64-bit I would assume. Doubt we have a 32-bit – Rinzwind Aug 29 '17 at 12:01

32-bit ARM support appears to have been or is being discontinued. All I can find currently are pre-installed server images for the Raspberry Pi, available here. As time goes by 32-bit options are disappearing. I recommend seeking out 64-bit alternatives. This old Q&A reflects some of the history of this. Phoronix reported back in May of 2018 that armhf was proposed to be on the chopping block. If you are still running on 32-bit hardware you will find your options more and more limited as time goes by. There was a great deal of discussion topic on the developers mailing list under the topic Proposal: Let's drop i386. Desktop images such as you mention have already been dropped from development for 32-bit.

These versions of Ubuntu support ARM.

    Most ARM versions of Ubuntu seem to be 64-bit only. Sadly, I have 32-bit as my single-board computer only have 2GB of RAM and doesn't really need 64-bit. Because of this and other problems I'm facing with the OS, I'm switching over to Open SUSE as it's more fitting for how I use computers and support my board specifically. Thanks for the help! – Anoraki Aug 30 '17 at 01:28
