I'm new to Ubuntu and have no idea how the terminal works. My main issue is Steam not loading and it keeps telling me to upgrade my system from 32-bit to 64-bit, but how?

    Well it's quite clear. You installed a 32 bit version of Ubuntu instead of 64bit. You need to download Ubuntu again but make sure it's the 64bit (AMD64) version, mount it to USB or DVD and when I'm the installer, you might be able to upgrade it. I'm not sure, I've never tried upgrading from a 32bit arch. If not just reinstall but keep all your files (if that option is also available – xR34P3Rx Sep 24 '17 at 16:41

  • oh, thats a torrent link, lol. This is the link to the ISO. - http://releases.ubuntu.com/17.04/ubuntu-17.04-desktop-amd64.iso?_ga=2.163458556.1524610621.1506368940-802840240.1504906983 – xR34P3Rx Sep 25 '17 at 19:50
  • The torrent link is for downloading via a Bitorrent Client like uTorrent. That will download the ISO in a P2P network. – xR34P3Rx Sep 25 '17 at 19:51
