I have heard people telling that if you are using 32 bit, it is time to change. Is it true? Do I not get 32 bit for Ubuntu? I do not see x86 with lts support. Can I get medium specification 32 bit distro in buntu?

Ubuntu 18.04 LTS still supports x86 (i686/32-bit) however it has fewer install options.

The main GNOME desktop is not available as a ISO for example, but if you were using x86 (32-bit) 17.10 or 16.04 LTS (Unity), you can still do-release-upgrade to it.

You can still install using the network installer (and thus build a GNOME desktop should you really want it), downloads available at http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/netboot/18.04/

Official flavors however still support x86/i686/32-bit for 18.04 LTS and can be downloaded from https://www.ubuntu.com/download/flavours

flavors web page

Clicking on the Lubuntu option you'll eventually get to this page where that flavor can be downloaded in x86/i686/32-bit lubuntu 18.04 download options

Note: I'm using Lubuntu only as an example - most (if not all) other flavors also supported 32-bit at 18.04, and Lubuntu & Xubuntu also supported installing x86 for 18.10 installs
