Thank you for this discovery.
Cannot be used on Linux with 32-bit processors, if they aren't Pentium IV or Pentium M, among the latest ones while the first 64-bit processors were beginning to appear on the market. Debian v12 "Bookworm" supports what is confusingly called "i686" as the only 32-bit.
Might have to see if this works on base of Debian "Bullseye" or on Ubuntu "Focal Fossa" or maybe even "Bionic Beaver", for those earlier 32-bit processors. Slackware still supports Pentium III and others that might be tagged "i586", definitely not those ancient Intel 486DX's barely able to run Windows v3.1. However, it's a real pain to get true "multilib" on Slackware. Requires precise instructions, because it's so easy to mess it up, and could still mess it up while trying to upgrade/update the operating system.
On Manjaro, which is Arch-based, might have to install Wine or something else to make sure to have as many of the 32-bit libraries as possible. But that also might not support Pentium III or earlier.
Quote:Note that the 32 bit version has only been tested on 32 bit Debian 12 and 64 bit Ubuntu 23.10 with the 32 bit libraries installed.
