32-bit TNG?
Like many, I am still running a couple of 32 bit machines. They work fine for what I need them to do (browsing, email, and the like, no gaming, no intensive graphics). They also make good machines for people unable to afford the latest and greatest. There is no reason (yet at least) to stop using them. I want to prepare for 2020/2023 when it seems there will be no or few 32 bit Linux OSs around and limited if any support/updates.
With the recent announcements of suspension of 32 bit Linux distros, what is a person like me to do??? Is there anyone around that could write an article or two on how to prepare for this event. Perhaps reviewing/suggesting existing 32 bit OSs that may survive and discuss what will happen to programs (sorry applications) as well. Might be an interesting read. Sorry I am not knowledgeable enough to write such a piece.

Ronnie says: While I can’t vouch for most of the distros in this post from Fossbytes (https://fossbytes.com/best-lightweight-linux-distros/) it mentions some really good 32-bit friendly distros.
