I'm very sad to see them drop support for 32-bit, since that is the computer on which I have been using Debian for the past 10 years... Does anyone have any su

  Linux mint technically still does, perhaps because they’re lagging behind Debian. AntiX does but that has its own tradeoffs. With full potential respect for your situation, if you’re not able to obtain 64 bit hardware, there’s nothing that wrong with not upgrading your OS for now

    Bookworm will get updates for another year if I have read the Debian Wiki correctly so perhaps there is no need for immediate action as Bookworm becomes oldstable? In addition to Mint and AntiX there is also Slackware (I use xfce rather than KDE) but adding software outside the (large) base install is not an 'apt-get thing' process. Salix Linux, based on Slackware, does have package repositories with a reasonable selection of applications. Salix is based on the stable Slackware 15.0 so has nicely aged packages. Void Linux also has an xfce4 based live i686 iso you can look at and decide to install from.

      I also use xfce, my computer is an Acer Aspire One, limited in ... well everything, I did upgrade the storage to an SSD, but it's still an Atom CPU, so whatever is the lightest is the best.

  Gentoo still supports it but depending on what you want, compile times with modern compilers on old hardware are a pain.
