Jonathan, I'm not a Linux person, but a search online turned up
https://askubuntu.com/questions/768415/where-can-i-find-32-bit-version-of-ubuntu Which suggested that 18.04 was available for 32-bit: https://cdimage.ubuntu.com/xubuntu/releases/18.04.5/release/xubuntu-18.04.5-desktop-i386.iso I also found: https://askubuntu.com/questions/1376090/latest-version-of-ubuntu-for-i386-architecture-32-bit Which links to: http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/dists/bionic-updates/main/installer-i386/current/images/netboot/ But I don't profess to understand the contents at that second link. I leave it to you to sort it out. According to the Gnucash wiki, 18.04 has 2.6.19. Such an upgrade might be a major undertaking...
