So i actually have the same laptop and had a ton of fun installing arch on it over the last christmas holidays. The experience made me understand a lot, triggered my new love for arch and was a fun project overall.

I ended up having a stable CLI setup with ytfzf and mpv to watch my favorite yt channels in glorious 720p, got bluetooth working for my headset and all. Very fun experience.

Edit: i am unsure on the 32bit part, I think mine is 64, could be another generation. In any case i also have 1gb of ram

I would not want to neither deal with security issues nor pay the data costs associated with some an app being able to connecting to my phone to download media
