I just installed it from the official manjaro.org website and it works fine just Pacman is not working. Are you saying it is impossible to use Pacman on the 32-bit version?
Well its not my fault if someone searches on Google for manjaro 32-bit it comes up with that page. And the page has no indication that the version is out of date or supported. If the u works then it is live on the manjaro website and nobody has updated the page or removed it.
I’ve heard of arch Linux but I prefer something out of the box and that can be done in a few minutes.
Well I looked up arch Linux 32-bit support and apparently that will end soon.
The 32-bit version of manjaro might still be useful for some people. I just compared it to the 32-bit version on zorin lite and it managed to get all the drivers working correctly which impressed me.
What are the risks with using an older version and is there an alternative way to download software? I just want gimp and Firefox and chromium probably
Well I was just a fan that manjaro managed to find the drivers and make a 10 year old mini pc work well. If I install a 64-bit is the just keeps freezes all the time. The CPU is pretty weak.
edit: thanks for the original heads up on the 32-bit version being unsupported. At least i know what was going on there.
Good luck.
I started out with a HP in 2007, but swapped it out for a 64-bit in 2013 mostly because I couldn’t upgrade it without getting a new PSU and case…
Still going strong on that build - but I wouldn’t want to battle with 32-bit now.
