A simple, lightweight distribution for 32-bit CPUs


You've reached the website for Arch Linux 32, the community maintained continuation of 32-bit support for Arch Linux, a
lightweight and flexible Linux® distribution that tries to Keep It Simple.

Currently we have official packages optimized for the i686 and pentium4 architectures. Also most(ly) non-graphical packages are
available for i486, too. Have a look at the required cpu flags to decide which architecture is the right one for you. Most packages
from Arch Linux's community-operated package repository are also compatible with Arch Linux 32.

Instructions for the transition from Arch Linux to Arch Linux 32 can be found here.

Installation media which boot on i686 can be found here.

Join us on #archlinux32 IRC channel on Libera, check out our forums or subscribe to the mailing list to get your feet wet. Also
glance through the Arch Wiki if you want to learn more about upstream Arch.

Debug packages and debuginfod

2022-02-02

We are very happy to announce that debug packages are now available in Arch Linux.

Debug symbols and source listing are provided through our debuginfod instance which can be utilized by debuggers such as gdb
and delve.

https://debuginfod.archlinux.org/

A couple of sponsored mirrors are providing the debug repositories while we figure out and communicate the new mirror
requirements.

Not all packages provide debug packages as enabling it for all packages is an ongoing effort.

For more information, please visit the Debuginfod wiki article, and also our newly renovated Debugging/Getting traces article.

linux-firmware 20220119.0c6a7b3-2 requires kernel >=5.3 and package splitting

2022-01-21

The linux-firmware package 20220119.0c6a7b3-2 implements kernel firmware compression. Linux kernel from 5.3 on support
loading from xz compressed firmware.
CONFIG_FW_LOADER_COMPRESS kernel option must be enabled. All official Arch Linux kernel support this for a long time.
[1]

The linux-firmware package has been split into smaller packages to further reduce required disk space. Some big firmware files of
rarely used hardware have been split into separate packages.
This affects firmware for Mellanox Spectrum switches, Marvell devices, Qualcomm SoCs, Cavium LiquidIO server adapters,
QLogic devices, Broadcom NetXtreme II 10Gb ethernet adapters.
Make sure to install additional firmware packages if needed. [2]

libxml2>=2.9.12-6 update may require manual intervention

2021-12-27

The libxml2 package prior to version 2.9.12-6 was missing the compiled python modules. This has been fixed in 2.9.12-6, so the
upgrade may need to overwrite any untracked pyc files created. If you get errors like these
libxml2: /usr/lib/python3.10/site-packages/__pycache__/drv_libxml2.cpython-310.opt-1.pyc exists in filesystem
libxml2: /usr/lib/python3.10/site-packages/__pycache__/drv_libxml2.cpython-310.pyc exists in filesystem
libxml2: /usr/lib/python3.10/site-packages/__pycache__/libxml2.cpython-310.opt-1.pyc exists in filesystem
libxml2: /usr/lib/python3.10/site-packages/__pycache__/libxml2.cpython-310.pyc exists in filesystem

when updating, use


pacman -Syu --overwrite /usr/lib/python3.10/site-packages/__pycache__/\*

to perform the upgrade.
