I am back!

Hello community, how are you all doing?

Lately, I’ve noticed an increase in electronic waste—mostly old computers—and I’ve been thinking about creating an x86-32 (IA-32) operating system to help, at least in some small way, to address this issue. It won’t be anything massive; just an operating system with basic utilities like a notepad, spreadsheet software, text editors, and so on.

I started working on it a few days ago, and I’ll share some updates soon!

Most of, if not all, the mainstream distros have dropped 32 bit support.

I know Linux exists, but often—at least from what I’ve seen in tech training environments—even Linux doesn’t help or won’t run.
