Background Information
Arch Linux 32-bit is a community-maintained fork of Arch Linux that provides ongoing support for 32-bit architecture after official support was dropped in 2017. Designed for older hardware, it retains the lightweight, rolling-release model of Arch while ensuring compatibility with legacy systems. The project maintains a separate repository of updated packages and the Pacman package manager, allowing users to access the latest software within the constraints of 32-bit architecture.
