    I wish this were true. a lot of my older hardware is no longer supported by new kernels.

      Have you tried Tiny Core Linux? It supports a 486DX, but they recommend a Pentium 2. I think the biggest issue you will have is finding programs that will run on such old hardware.

        Just because Ubuntu left it behind doesn’t mean there aren’t distros still supporting 32 bit.

        However, anything still running x86 without x86_64 support is hella old at this point.

        I’m not even talking about 64-bit systems!
