Which linux port to choose

Before downloading the version of the linux debian operating system you are asked which port to choose, let's see the differences.

First the port we could call it trivially the version . depending on the hardware available there are several ports/versions to choose from, the most commonly used ports today are for 64-bit architectures, without going into detail, which is beyond the scope of this post, the main choice è on ports suitable for 32 bits or ports suitable for 64 bits.

The words to keep in mind are i386 for 32-bit architectures both intel and amd, now obsolete, or amd64 for 64-bit architectures, here the acronym amd canò misled into thinking it is suitable only for amd processors, instead è the right port/version for the main processors and/or 64-bit architectures, also intel.
