32 bit free (as in freedom) OS

Hi to everyone!
Trisquel 10 i686 does not exist, so what 32 bit free (as in freedom) OS do you suggest for my old notebook HP510 after 2023 April? This question because Parabola GNU-Linux seems in the same condition; indeed I don't see a 32 bit iso image (404 Not Found - nginx/1.16.1).
I would choose Debian GNU/Linux without the contrib and nonfree sections of the repository, with jxself's Linux-libre and with Abrowser:
I recommend use Trisquel 9 or install Parabola or Hyperbola or GNU Guix, all them are free distros https://www.gnu.org/distros/free-distros.html distros like Debian distribute, recommend and share nonfree software, please dont help to your enemy say no to nonfree software!
I am a translator!

I have that iso on my disk, downloaded on September 5 2022 and used successfully to install parabola on a 32-bit notebook. I reported the broken links on IRC, let's see.
It works (using LXDE, netsurf, iceweasel, claws-mail) but gajim and dino (or any graphical XMPP client I found) does not work due to a too old version of one lib, whose newer version is only in the testing repository, that is not advised for general use. So I am learning to use profanity, which is a bit of effort but it is very light on resources, works well and is highly flexible.
EDIT: I tried to install gajim again, it works, so there is progress. Still, pacman complains about the omemo plugin package signature, I'll ask about that.
The Parabola GNU-Linux iso image with systemd and LXDE is no longer available at this time (see https://wiki.parabola.nu/Get_Parabola point 2.2.1).

You can still get it at https://mirror.fsf.org/parabola/iso/parabola-2021.08.11/parabola-2021.08.11-dual.iso
However, the keyring is out-of-date so you will have to first deactivate signature checking to update the keyring packages and then, you can reactivate it and further install/update things.
I understand that making an iso with up-to-date keyring is on the todo list now, and this is why the link on the wiki was removed (although the iso images with outdated keyring are still in the repositories).
By the way, after installing the OMEMO plugin for gajim from parabola repository, gajim works again.
I wonder if you can do "debian from scratch", but in this case, Trisquel and just compile all the packages.
I also recommend removing SystemD.
You would basically end up with GNUinos at that point.
