I've been using Sparkylinux on my 32 bit machines:

I like it, but don't use it often, so I can't say what it's limitations might be.

Re: Linux Mint 19.3 after 2023
Hello.
I do have a lenovo thinkpad R61 and the processor in that laptop is a 64 bit so i installed Linux Mint 21.1 in that laptop and now the laptop works even better then it used too when it came out of it's box brand new.
I use the Mint video driver and not the nvidia driver for the display and all works fine.
At work my the computer that i use is an HP I5 with windows 10 pro but my old Thinkpad R61 setup with Mint 21.1 is even faster then the HP.
If you do have a 32 bit computer i would recommand Linux Mint LMDE 5 32 bit edition because the support for the 19.3 LTS version will end next month and it is the last LTS version that supports the 32 bit processor.
I have the LMDE 5 32 bit version installed in a Lenovo thinkpad T60 and that thing runs like a charm.
Have a good weekend
