Edit: it looks like it’s 64-bit compatible finally!

Hi!

I found a cheap 32-bit notebook with a functioning battery. I’d like to buy it, and install Linux on it, without installing X or Wayland, to use it headless GUI-less. I need something very portable just to take with me to take notes during meetings.

My intention was to use Debian but… they do not support 32-bit architecture anymore. I could install Debian 12, but do you know any interesting alternative that still support and will support it in the future?

    I believe there is also a flag for portage -g I think that will download the binary for any package.

    I suppose the argument for fun would be from people who enjoy tweaking USE flags and other things but only on specific packages or have a very low-end PC which cannot compile much.

    You could have a kernel-bin installed then spend endless amounts of time tinkering replacing glib with musl (which seems popular on IRC lol).
