wattOS Talk / Re: What, exactly, is the status of WattOS?

@lonewolf I validated Discord account with email. I never had to enter my phone number. Hope to see you there.

I wish the option to validate via email was offered, 'cuz I don't have a cellphone (and have no plans to acquire one).

I'm gobsmacked! I downloaded the ISO image and created a bootable, live USB drive via unetbootin, only to then discover that it is for an X86_64 CPU. Does WattOS-R12 really not support 32-bit systems? Isn't that a major purpose of WattOS? Admittedly, I might/must have missed the notice, but surely there's room in the Release Notes to mention a system requirement such as this. Please advise.

As Emily Litella used to say, "Never mind." I read a post from May, 2021 in a related thread, and saw that a 64-bit system is a prerequisite for WattOS-R12. How 'bout dat. I previously ran WattOS-R2 on 32-bit hardware, so when I read that -R12 was based on Debian "Bullseye", I figured that -R12 would also support my 32-bit systems. Silly me. Of course, my ASUS 900A (32-bit) currently runs Debian "Bookworm", so my assumption about -R12 was not unfounded. I guess the old adage still holds true: "If it ain't broke, don't 'fix' it."

Good luck!
