Bug Description

According to bug #1025555 and the Community Ubuntu Documentation on UEFI [1], current 32-bit releases of Ubuntu are incompatible with recent (UEFI) computers.

Despite this, the Download Ubuntu Desktop page [2] recommends these releases and provides no warning of their incompatibility, leading new users to have poor first experiences with Ubuntu.
