I’ll check this out and for my next laptop revitalization, I’ll install it. Thank you!
Not all of them. Arch stopped supporting x86, you need to get a forked branch of it that isn’t officially supported. Ran into others that also didn’t have x86 support anymore either. Initially thought Linux Mint was in the same boat, but I just found out that they have a Debian version that has a 32 bit version. All of the downloads for Ubuntu Desktop however are only showing 64 bit editions.
I guess I can narrow it down further. Editing my comment.
Anyone have Linux recommendations for x86 machines?
EDIT: Desktop editions of Linux.
EDIT 2: 32 bit specifically. I thought x86 and 32 but we’re the same thing, but I was wrong.
Thanks for the insight!
