As per: https://wiki.debian.org/LTS Debian Jessie is supported until April 2020 which means 2 more years. That said, if we must, ToriOS 2.0 will 'also' be based on Debian 8 (AKA Jessie).

That's not going to help ToriOS nor its users - why? Well, because: https://itsfoss.com/ubuntu-drops-32-bit-desktop/ And, as all of you may know, Ubuntu does not support NON-PAE any more. However, we all know that sooner or later, NON-PAE CPU and even 32-bit CPU will sooner or later be dead and not usable any more. > Anyhow, I am working on this newer version of > ToriOS to continue the current developments I have been working on.
