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?

    What CPU is it? 32bit only hardware would be ancient, I’m surprised you found something that old with a working battery?

      I was suprised too! And I’m still not sure it’s true, I’ll check. It’s an Asus EeePC 1025C, so yes, it’s quite ancient.
