Thanks, I think I had messed around with MX a few years ago, but never even thought about it/forgot this time. I will download it now.

Thanks I will try that. I thought Debian had stopped x86_32 builds. I will definitely try that. 👍

Thanks, I will definitely be giving them a try. I meant to look at FreeBSD about 15 years ago and was stumped. I have glanced at it over the years since, but never tried it again. I will definitely look at them. Thanks again.

Thanks, will have a look at that option. I haven’t even dipped my toes into compiling, but have looked over posts and tutorials in the past.

Thanks, I will add that. I thought that they had stopped support for x86_32. Happy to be wrong.

Thanks, I haven’t ever heard of it, I will definitely add that to try, thanks.

Thanks, I created a Ventoy stick with the distros above, and the only one that I can get to run is AntiX. Puppy (Noble _ Bookworm) get the same error as this person (ventoy: not a valid block device), so I will read through that thread. The DSL doesn’t respond and Command Line halt error. I think the others were the same. So I am on my 3rd OS creating a bootable USB from ISO, and so far no others have worked either. It may end up AntiX the only option, although I have seen others mention Gentoo - which I thought had stopped support for x86, and a couple of others to try, so I look forward to them :) MX, Q4OS, OpenBSD and Debian.

That’s far too long. They could try and turn it into a ditty for an advert, but it wouldn’t look great on their merch.
