Why? I'm just curious.

What number?

OK. I kinda wish I'd left my main 16.04 workhorse on that and not
upgraded to 18.04 until I needed to, to be fair. I got nothing I
needed, it got slower, needed a lot of manual coaxing, and  I have a
copy of GNOME I don't want and can't uninstall.

But there are other 32-bit distros.
Debian, Arch, Slackware, all support x86.-32.
For mainstream graphical desktops, Mageia and Raspberry Pi Desktop both do.
I think LMDE does, as well.
In more niche distros, there are many, but I have a box running MX
Linux, for instance.

Has it? Since when? I thought it died and was shut down years ago. The
website has even gone AFAICS.
