So you need an install of any Debian or Ubuntu, etc. edition that is current and 64 bit. A "Core2Duo" processor will work and newer, and several other chips of various names.</div><div class="gmail_default" style="font-size:large">The output of 'uname -a' should read somthing like: "4.9.0-8-amd64 #1 SMP Debian 4.9.130-2 (2018-10-27) x86_64 GNU/Linux". This is my machine running Debian on a 4.9.0-8-amd64 kernel, ie., 64 bit and compatible for the .deb from the Skype website. there is also the issue of allowing the Skype repository to update on your system. I don't have it installed on my machine, but my friend has a 64 bit edition of Ubuntu and she got Skype going. <br></div><div class="gmail_default" style="font-size:large">Good luck.

<p>You have no hardware issues Anthony and can easily install Skype.
It doesn't matter desktop or laptop so don't concern yourself with
that at all. You will have to register a microsoft account and
password for it since Micro owns Skype.</p>
<p>Run the command in a terminal as the output you got stated.
"sudo dpkg --add-architecture i386" then run "sudo apt-get
update" (no ""s in the command though).</p>
<p>Go to the download page and download the .deb, 64 bit. Install
with gdebi (which should pop up by itself). Then you'll have to go
through the registration.</p>
<p>This is not difficult so just dive in.</p>

<p>I downloaded the 64 bit version a while back. It appears that
Microsquish only offers a 64 bit version on their download
page. They offer .deb and .rpm versions. You don't want the
.rpm version. So there is no 32 bit version available.</p>

<div dir="auto">A., Is there a 64 bit Skype download instead
of 32? I have not looked in some time. You may have the
wrong .deb package. You can add the 32-bit architecture as
noted if there isn't a 64-bit .deb from Skype. Just a
thought, Ted P.</div>
