I have to reboot for most updates with Debian, I just put it off till I
feel like doing it, then do it, boot up again, boom.  It's a minor
concern, really, I'm not going for uptime as much as I am having the
best distro, and Debian seems to be it.

I'm still running 32-bit Bullseye on that machine and it doesn't get much
love. I don't think Bookworm even has a 32-bit option. Long story but I
had to do 32-bit builds and that became increasingly painful on 64-bit
distros.

32-bit Bookworm is available. A couple weeks ago I updated a 2006 Dell
Latitude D420 (Core Solo, 32-bit) Debian machine to Bookworm. No particular
reason, I did it just to see if it could be done.

You used to be able to find 32-bit live USB .ISOs more easily. I think
they're still available but not "officially."
