| Introduction | Newly installed Ubuntu 23.04 does not support the installation of 32-bit applications. |
No one noticed that the newly installed Ubuntu 23.04 does not support the installation of 32-bit applications
Some users have reported that the Steam client installed from the Ubuntu repository does not work on a newly installed Ubuntu 23.04. A new Flutter-based installer is used in Ubuntu 23.04, which uses Subiquity under the hood and does not support 32-bit libraries by default. The result is that although Ubuntu 23.04 users can run the apt command or click the install button in the Software Center to install, because the 32-bit libraries that Steam depends on cannot be called in, Steam cannot run properly for most users. The problem is, this problem is only now being discovered in Ubuntu 23.04, which was released in April. The reason may be that on the one hand, most users upgraded from the previous version with 32-bit library support, and many people downloaded the Linux version of Steam with 32-bit support directly from Valve; on the other hand, the short-term version There may not be many Ubuntu users.

Android 14 Still Doesn't Calculate Storage Utilization Correctly
We often rely on Android's storage utilization tool to find apps and files taking up storage space so we can uninstall or delete them if needed. However, some experts have discovered that Google’s calculation of the space occupied by Android system components is flawed. Android calculates system storage space as the space occupied by categories other than audio, video, pictures, documents, trash, games, etc. In other words, the Android "system" includes more than just Android system files.

Lao Wang’s comment: It can only be said that Android developers are lazy. They believe that there should not be files that “sneakly” appear in other unclassified categories.
