It really is amazing how far back Linux reaches. Aren’t there a few distros with current support that will run on a 486?

iirc the Linux kernel dropped support for pre-Pentium x86 in the last few years, so any distro with 486 support now isn’t running a recent kernel. I think if you want a maintained operating system for your 486 today, NetBSD is probably the thing to run.
