i dont know what to choose.

well, i have a very old laptop with an intel celeron, 2gb ddr2 RAM and i cant seem to find a working 32 bit iso of anything. windows 7 is not finding any drivers, Lubuntu doesnt take boot changes in effect so i cant use that.

do you maybe have a recommendation with a downloadlink to a OS i could try?

Manjaro XFCE? https://manjaro.org/download/32bit-xfce/

is it thru auto update?

might depend on what you want to do with it.....

Devuan i think does 32-bit

Void Linux

 

you will be looking for the "i386 - i686" images

except for maybe freedos

i know that it needs to be i386-i686. i will try Devuan and void linux then. thx for the recommendation

so, i tried both and both of them had the problem like lubuntu, acpi is on eventho i turned it of both times with a boot parameter which doesnt safe.

You can use this tool to download a legit .iso of whatever version of Windows you might want.

Mint might solve your problem. My older laptop had issues with bluetooth, network and sound card drivers with Ubuntu and i tried Mint and it worked right away. The build is more recent but i assume Manjaro which is much more uptodate should have worked if you had this exact issue.
