Thanks for taking the time to answer my doubts, this info really helped me (I though that any of your ISOs were compatible with both x86 and 64bit aswell).</div>

I will check for Alpine linux, sounds pretty similar to the minimalist, not systemd just like Artix and Arch, but in the future I want to try Artix, do you think it would run in a raspberry pi?</div>

If you're looking for distros with first-class 32-bit architecture<br>
support, sadly, the number of choices is diminishing for Linux.<br>
<br>
It looks like Artix itself doesn't support it[1], and neither does Arch<br>
officially either (there is a community effort [2] to make 32-bit Arch<br>
Linux, but it's doesn't seem endorsed by the main distro).<br>

If you're looking for something like Artix but still runnable on<br>
32-bit x86 hardware, and don't fear doing work in the terminal, I<br>
recommend you to try the following:<br>
<br>
- Alpine Linux: independent non-systemd distribution with fairly<br>
up-to-date packages and kernel (still not rolling release). The<br>
environment is pretty minimal, a-la vanilla Artix/Arch, but<br>
installation is much simpler (script-based). x86 support is first<br>
class.<br>
- Devuan: also non-systemd, based off of Debian. The stable release<br>
lags considerably behind the latest, but you could run the<br>
"unstable" channel (Ceres) for that - it's much less unstable<br>
than you'd think. Note that the Debian project itself has decided to<br>
slowly sunset 32-bit x86 into the future, but it's still supported.<br>
- If you're open to trying something that's not Linux, most if not all<br>
BSDs still support x86 first-class.<br>
<br>
Hope this helps you. It's a real pity how x86 is slowly being sunset<br>
everywhere. I, too, have a machine on that architecture with less and<br>
less choices available...<br>
<br>
Yours,<br>
<br>
Vitor S<br>
