I tried to resurrect a 32-bit desktop with a Pentium 4 processor by
installing CentOS 7 32-bit version. Everything installed OK, but after
the first boot, the performance was unusable. And, the X11 would
crash repeatedly. CentOS 7-32 is completely useless.
Then, I tried Ubuntu 16-32 with the Gnome desktop. No crashes, but the
performance was unusable, although much better than CentOS 7-32.
Then, I tried Lubuntu 18-32, and I have a usable system now. Lubuntu is
Ubuntu with a light-weight desktop designed for computers with limited
resources.
I have also installed Xubuntu 12 on a laptop with a Pentium M processor
(pre-PAE capability for extended memory addressing). It performed
acceptably. Xubuntu is another light-weight Linux with the XFCE desktop.
