Probably stupid question, but

Most modern distros support Multiarch, meaning that you can run x86-32
code on an x86-64 OS.

I do not know about PCLOS; this is an Ubuntu list. PCLOS is a fork of
Mandriva, effectively a dead distro at this point. Mandriva long long
ago forked off Red Hat Linux and that is itself dead.

I have evaluated and reviewed Mandrake, Mandriva and PCLOS, and my
conclusion was "don't use them; Ubuntu is superior". I have not looked
in the last year or two but I have not seen, heard or read of any
reason to change my conclusion from then.

If you prefer it, fine, good for you; enjoy. But I don't think you
will find much help or guidance in this community, I'm afraid.
