⚠ 32-bit AcreetionOS builds 32-bit (i686) images from the Arch Linux 32-bit repositories (archlinux32.org). These images are untested — we do not run QA on them.

â–¸ 32-bit details
We build 32-bit images, but they are not tested.

We compile 32-bit (i686) ISOs using the upstream Arch Linux 32-bit repositories. We do not maintain our own package repos for 32-bit. These builds are provided as-is for testing, education, and automated deployment pipelines.

âš  Note: We build these images so they exist, but we may not know everything about how they behave on every system. 32-bit hardware and software combinations vary widely, and our testing capacity is limited. If you run into issues, community knowledge and the Arch32 repos are your best resources.
