i too have an old 32 bit pc and i run bodhi linux on it but i do not use it for cold storage because more of then not u run into problems
Bodhi it is, will research and try it out . My PC is still having the windows on it, I barely go out but anytime I go out again,I will make sure to get some new component like the fan(the fan Is kind of weak too) and the hard drive to install the new OS on.
Once you decided on your OS and wallet, you could try to install it but will likely encounter issues with the wallet's dependencies.
You may try to post a new topic in the specific wallet's board or in the Linux Distros' forum if you encounter an issue. (you will)
Okay noted that, someone suggested bodhi, I also saw puppy Linux online , I don't know how they will work but once I tried them I will get back to whatever wallet installed.
Tails would be the best one for cold storage but the problem is latest version of Tails OS doesn't support 32-bit, but you can try the older version. I heard that the last version that supports 32-bit-based systems is Tails 3.0.
Tbh, I would have preferred Tails, but I don't know how everything will turn out using software on it. I'll still give it a try, but if I notice it won't be convenient having a cold storage setup on a 32-bit PC, then I will just forget about it. I do have another cold storage, but it's worth trying (the setup).
