#i386 machines running #Debian 12 Bookworm
Debian 13 drops support for i386, which is bad news for my parents’ laptops. I don’t have the time to help them hop on a different distro right now, but I wonder if anybody here is in the same boat.
@[email protected] and @[email protected], my two faves, still offer support. FreeBSD demoted i386 to tier 2 in 2021. What else is out there?
Sure, I’ve got some ancient machines myself but I don’t try to run the latest the software on them. Only reason for that is if you need to use them on the internet in which case for security and compatibility it’s better to use newer hardware.
