Android 32 bit desktop OS?
I try to put an old Dell 32 bit desktop to work. There are a lot of Linux distros, but very few for 32 -bit. After trying some 32 bit Linux distros, I give up the approach. Those 32 bit distros are hard to install and not user-friendly (due to their old age, perhaps). Last night, I come across some information about Android for desktop. I give it a try. After running with all android 32 bit OSs, I don't have any luck so far. The furthest I get is android-x86. I get it installed. It doesn't work, however.
Here are some I have tried: Phoenix OS - I can't find its ISO file specified for 32 bit. The one I got doesn't run at all. I guess it is for 64 bit Chrome OS - the same as the above Prime OS - The installation screen shows up, but I can't select any of the menu items to run the live version or install it Bliss OS - no longer to make 32 -bit (I select those OSs based on articles like this one https://quickfever.com/android-os-fo...ome-os-android) Please share your experience if you have installed an Android 32 bit OS successfully. |
What is the model number and how much RAM is installed in the computer?
Android x86 is not a fully compatible OS with all 32 bit PCs. It has only been tested with a few desktops and tablets and you are better off with using a real 32 bit distribution. What distribution have you tried? Without knowing the specs of the computer it is difficult to say which distribution would be better suited for your PC. |

Some 32 bit distros -
AntiX - http://mxlinux.mirrors.uk2.net/isos/...inal/antiX-19/ Raspberry Desktop for PC - https://www.raspberrypi.org/software...ry-pi-desktop/ MX Linux - https://mxlinux.org/download-links/ Tiny Core - http://www.tinycorelinux.net/ ..& if you are adventurous ( ;) ) Slackware - http://www.slackware.com/getslack/ (There are others, but one of these should sort you out OK.) |

And how much memory? 512MB will limit the possibilities.

From what I had read the max is 2GB. You should not have problems installing antix.

Before 32 bit browser support was being dropped.
I installed and ran android 32 bit os on my clamshell 32 atom touchscreen netbook. Now. AntiX pretty much stays on it. when you do a live run. You can post in this thread the output of inxi Quote:

AntiX uses window managers, so less resources needed, MX uses XFCE desktop environment, & has more programs included from the start; lots of the people involved work on both distros, they are closely related. :)
