r/Q4OS

Love TDE on both my laptops. This is a screenshot of my smaller, lower-end laptop.

Q4OS TDE

I started a thread in the Debian sub:

https://www.reddit.com/r/debian/comments/1tcg65b/is_bookworm_32bit_still_maintained/

One commenter said:

"After that there's LTS and ELTS but that may or may not include i386 ("32-bit") - to be determined. But as 2026-06-10 is coming up rather soon, that, at least for LTS, will be determined by then, or sooner. Likewise for ELTS and 2028-07-01 ... at least if LTS supports i386 (ELTS certainly won't support what LTS doesn't/didn't support)."

But the Q4OS download page for 32-bit Aquarius mentioned that EOL for Aquarius will be 2028.

What happens if Debian decide to drop 32-bit Bookworm after EOL? Bookworm was the last Debian version to include 32-bit. The current version Trixie (Debian 13) completely dropped 32-bit. Ubuntu, Mint and all the mainstream disros dropped 32-bit a long time ago.

Thanks in advance.

EDIT: What I'm really asking is, when 32-bit Debian is killed off in a few weeks, will every current 32-bit distro die? There's only about 4 or 5 left, and most if not all are based on 32-bit Debian.

There are still plenty of 32-bit machines in the world that can run 32-bit Linux. Otherwise they'd just be thrown in the bin.

Hello! Today, i want to ask about my consideration on switching to q4os. Recently, i'm interested about q4os and it's trinity desktop env. I am currently a Lubuntu user, and i want to ask you guys the pros and the cons of the q4os. i am currently testing q4os on a live cd system. i would also love to hear tips about the trinity de. thank you!
