Read here the latest News about Manjaro Linux
As more and more people are looking to move back to their old Atom netbooks following the resurgence of interest in systems not vulnerable to Spectre-type attacks, Manjaro are officially reintroducing 32-bit (i686) support.
Manjaro32 is based on the excellent and pioneering work of ArchLinux32 who were vastly ahead of the game when it came to Spectre - somehow they knew that the only secure system is a 32-bit system, and have been investing huge amounts of time and effort into keeping these old systems alive - systems that Intel don’t want you to use. (Why don’t they sell 32-bit CPUs any more? Three-letter-agencies, obviously.)
Of course, this doesn’t mean that people with 64-bit CPUs can’t join in. Manjaro32 will run quite happily on all so-called “modern” hardware too - and you’ll be able to make your voice heard against bit-bloat, increased RAM use, and larger software packages.
Manjaro32 adds all the normal Manjaro touches to this Arch-based distro, leaving you with the warm feeling that you could keep your 15-year-old netbook running and didn’t have to shell out $3000 on the latest dodeca-core hexaRAM HyperHD laptop for checking your email. But that’s not what “they” want, is it?
When you’re ready to join the resistance against “throwaway tech”, you can read more on the forum and download the latest 32-bit installer image. Together, we’ll keep hope alive.
Also, you should really say thanks to the Arch32 people. They’re pretty awesome.
