    The i386 branch still exists, they dropped the installer.

    You can upgrade a Debian 12 i386 system just fine to Debian 13

      They did explicitly said that it’s completely unsupported scenario. It’s only for multiarch usage so even kernel isn’t provided.

      Users running i386 systems should not upgrade to trixie.

      From https://www.debian.org/releases/trixie/release-notes/issues.en.html#reduced-support-for-i386

      That depends on the specific CPU model used:

      The i386 architecture is now only intended to be used on a 64-bit (amd64) CPU. Its instruction set requirements include SSE2 support, so it will not run successfully on most of the 32-bit CPU types that were supported by Debian 12.
