Found out through this article that some random source distro I've never heard of has successfully gotten firefox 145 up and running on a 32bit cpu.

Seeing that some distro maintainers actually are fighting to keep providing 32bit packages made my little nerd self very happy. Fingers crossed they can keep it working for a while. (And ofc, all hardware has to stop being supported eventually, doesn't make it any less sad when they day comes.)

The distro is T2 linux, and the package can be found here

Oh hey, didn't think I'd ever see T2 brought up here! This is René Rebe's project. It's similar to Gentoo in that it's source based, so you're going to be compiling everything from scratch, but unlike Gentoo (or at least I think?), T2 is extremely portable and René prouds himself on maintaining patch sets for hardware that no one else wants to maintain, which is cool.

Very cool!

When I have some hardware to spare, I might give it a try.

Wouldn't it run out of RAM with barely any tabs?
