    Not all of them. Arch stopped supporting x86, you need to get a forked branch of it that isn’t officially supported. Ran into others that also didn’t have x86 support anymore either. Initially thought Linux Mint was in the same boat, but I just found out that they have a Debian version that has a 32 bit version. All of the downloads for Ubuntu Desktop however are only showing 64 bit editions.

    I guess I can narrow it down further. Editing my comment.

      oh, you want a 32-bit version. should probably specify that. x86 is a big umbrella.

          x86 starts with the 8086, which is 16 bit. AMD64, IA-64 and x86-64 are all both 64-bit and x86.

          when referring to specifically 32-bit x86 it’s common to use the terms i386 or IA-32, but i think just “32-bit x86” gets the point across more clearly. if you need more specificity, just mention which processor you have and people can figure it out from there.
