32 bit support

Hi!
After the release of Debian 13 Trixie, will there be still support for 32 bit Q4OS? And how? Because from Trixie i386 is no longer supported by Debian as a regular architecture, see https://www.debian.org/releases/trixie/ … ed-support.
Thanks for the attention.

Re: 32 bit support

Unfortunately theasmitkid is correct, as 32bit support is being dropped. Youve still got some time with Q4OS 5(supported thru 2028) but eventually youll have to change hardware. When you consider that consumer 64bit CPUs have been around since 2003, you see that Linux has had a lot of patience with 32bit support.

Re: 32 bit support

If OP wants to use a Trixie-based distro on 32-bit hardware they could try this.

There are other options as well for 32bit users, but the writing is on the wall as fewer and fewer options are available.

Re: 32 bit support

antiX is another option with a Trixie-based 32-bit build.

Re: 32 bit support

Are you sure the 32bit Trixie antiX 25 version has been released? Brian Masinick over in their forums was still discussing the issue and testing to see how it will go.

I never said that; the transition to Trixie is currently in process.
