Asked By CuriousCat42 On

I'm currently using Debian as my go-to live distro, but I've run into a problem since Debian has stopped supporting 32-bit live installs. I'm looking for alternatives that can support both 32-bit and 64-bit systems, as well as UEFI and legacy boot options. Does anyone know of a distro that fits this description or can help me out with 32-bit live install options?

Don't forget about Void Linux. It's a solid choice and offers a 32-bit live install option too, so that could fill the gap you’re experiencing.

Definitely look into Puppy Linux! It’s designed for older hardware and has great support for 32-bit systems. It could be exactly what you need for a live installation.

Another option is openSUSE Tumbleweed, which supports a range of architectures. It's a rolling release and keeps you up-to-date with the latest software!

You might want to check out MX Linux and antiX. They both support 64 and 32-bit architectures and work with UEFI and legacy setups. MX Linux is quite popular, and antiX is great for live booting. If you're looking for a lightweight desktop, I'd recommend using XFCE with these distros.

If you don't mind a bit of work, you can still use Debian by creating your own live media with the 32-bit installer. That way, you don't have to switch distros!
