Does that mean you didn't need to use a boot drive with a 32 bit boot loader? I've been having trouble getting any of my sticks (one an ASUS Vivostick, the other a no-name) to even boot a Linux installer off USB or CD, but that could be because I've been trying to get Ubuntu Server, which may be part of the problem. If the Ubuntu desktop path is better, maybe I'll try that.

Fedora supports 32-bit boot out of the box, even on actual 64-bit OS's. The Debian multiarch image does as well, but the 32bit-boot/64-bit OS arrangement fails if secure boot is on, so make sure to turn that off beforehand in the firmware UI. AIUI, Ubuntu doesn't support this.

  After seeing @undersuit's comment, I decided to try the Ubuntu Server 19.10 ISO and it booted fine off a USB drive. Good to know that no tricks are required (such as these: http://www.linuxium.com.au/home http://www.linuxium.com.au/home). I had been banging my head against the wall trying to get older versions of Ubuntu Server installed on my stick PC.
