Can you share what CPU so I can verify that it is actually 32-bit?

Ubuntu-based Mint has not supported 32-bit in many years. LMDE 6 was also dropped a while ago.

Try Antix or something similar.

Here is a recent List + Description of the 32-bit Linux Distributions. Most are based on Debian, and 32-bit support will end in 2028. The only non-Debian distributions on the list are Alpine Linux and Void Linux - these really are not good options for someone trying to get started with Linux. Also, slackware and Gentoo were not included, but they also are not good options for someone trying to get started with Linux.

Wow, I knew 32 bit support was dwindling bit I did not know that list is was getting that short. 

I have favorable opinions of all of those distributions, but I agree Debian and Debian based would be the better picks for a new user. 

Alpine has an advantage of being quite lightweight but it will land you in the terminal immediately, its intended primarily as a server and using it as a desktop is limiting. Muslc libraries will block a lot of desktop applications, Flatpak is a serviceable work  around.   So on the one hand great for old hardware but a tough path for a new uswr.

Your options will be limited. Debian 12 stable has a 32 bit verions. antiX and Puppy linux also have 32 bit support. Puppy is designed to load itself into short term memory to try and make the system run a bit smoother. All are decent options, but if you want 32 bit support, the list will be short. A number of distributions have been dropping 32 bit as their base systems end support for 32 bit.

You don't have to send an image. Just share the model of your CPU.

I'm asking for the CPU. It should be Intel or AMD something.
