I tried to re-use a phone for some command line stuff. There’s a lot of arm 32 stuff that’s not working, so it makes it much more difficult

There are still distros that support 32-bit besides Debian 12, like Alpine and Void. Until when, that’s unknown.

I can wholeheartedly recommend NetBSD if you want rock solid and eternally dependable backward compatibility forever.

What all 32 bit stuff do you need to replace?

This was me, pulling out an old netbook trying to figure out which distro it could still run. 🫤

I started using 32 bit stuff after experiencing how they tend to be much lighter on memory. A 32 bit os can make a 2~4gb machine very usable. I even find myself thinking if changing everything to 64 bits was really necessary

I’ve got an Acer Aspire One that is slow but i Iove the form factor. It is really good for email and document tasks, just really light and comfortable and the battery lasts ages. Gonna be sad when 32bit ends
