Went with 32bit, followed instructions above, and then wiped everything but the wallet.dat file and rebooted. It hasn't crashed yet. I think all is well. It's just going to take me forever to download the blockchain. I had previously downloaded the blockchain from cryptochainer, but will wait to see if devs release another bootstrap directly, I'd like to limit the variables. @Rw13enlib88 has been very helpful with troubleshooting with me on Telegram.
