     @nyanide There is indeed no reason for another Linux distro when GNU Linux-libre exists.

     @nyanide it's not uncommon it's just the old 32 bit intels. debian has cut support so now the closest thing to a mainstream 32 bit distro is... Alpine, then probably the community Arch for 32 project.

     @menherahair I say somewhat uncommon because you're not gonna be able to go into your local American Big Tech Store and find a 32 bit machine, only place you'll find those things in are like thrift stores, okay so not totally uncommon
