[...] And to get those libraries, you're exposing the offline machine to website downloads, or even worse going online with it to get the backported libraries.

Not necessarily. One solution is using Synaptic offline, for example: https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/how-to-get-the-needed-packages-on-your-offline-computer-synaptic-pm-777625

It's true, but I don't want to encourage people to do this at all, because of the circumstances. Even if a person was to follow good advice, the risk they could still end up with stolen coins or nuked wallets is too high (for me).

If this wasn't about money (or some other super-valuable data), I'd be telling people to be courageous and give it a try.

What are the key features that 0.93 has over the 0.92.3? Would i miss those features if my offline is 0.92.3 and online is 0.93.1?

I forgot one feature, but it's unlikely you'll need it: deterministic transaction signing. It's for those who feel (or know) they can't trust their Armory device's random number generator, for any number of reasons. It was a brand new feature for 0.93, so it's not well tested considering how new it is. I think mostly everyone can live without it until it's been reviewed. It can't be turned on without using a command line parameter, so don't try looking for the setting in the GUI.

I understand,

What are the key features that 0.93 has over the 0.92.3?

faster startup (and more reliable)
faster shutdown (and more reliable)
much faster Database build

No. 0.92 in offline mode doesn't have the problems that 0.93 addresses.

I'm using it for offline wallet. From what i gather so far, only 0.92.3 works for 32bit (Ubuntu 12.04 + , I plan to run 14.04 LTS 32bit)

What features i'm missing if my online wallet is 0.93.1? or is it fully compatible?

Signing transactions between 0.92.x and 0.93.x versions of Armory works. That was a pretty recent change, it's unlikely to change again soon.

Also can i copy my current blockchain database to the new online wallet (i've heard newest Armory dont use the same database structure...)

Won't work, but the new version syncs it up very quickly compared to 0.92. Same (or slightly less?) disk space usage.

Should i get a new pc to run 64bit for next version of offline wallet? or something in the works that can still work with 32bit?

Thanks

Lol, no. You can even get the libraries that stop 0.93.x working on Ubuntu 12.04, but I don't think you're gaining anything other than a matching version number. And to get those libraries, you're exposing the offline machine to website downloads, or even worse going online with it to get the backported libraries.

Armory's latest build is not compatible with Ubuntu 32 bit at this time.
