If one wants Skype, and they have access to snap. I would install it
that way. <br>
<br>
sudo snap install --classic skype<br>
<br>
Auto-updates, and all that jazz applies. <br>

<div class="gmail_default" style="font-size:large">A., Well,
no. i_86 is 32 bit. I had a friend with a 32 bit laptop and
she needed to scrounge up a newer 64 bit laptop. 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>

Thank you, Ted P.<br>

<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>
