I have acer laptop with processor capable of running 64 bit programs. I also love windows applications and would be using wine to install lots of them. So in your opinion should I use 32 bit OS to avoid all the nasty problems arise because of 64 bit architecture during windows application installs?

My advice: Install Ubuntu 64 bit

You can then tell wine to act as a Windows 32bit system without a problem. You will need to edit ~/.bashrc and add export WINEARCH=win32 to the end of the file.

Use this article for more in-depth answer to this problem: How to force Wine into acting like 32-bit Windows on 64-bit Ubuntu?
