How i managed to install 64 bit Opensuse in a 32 bit UEI having intel Baytrail mini laptop .
Opensuse is a wonderful OS for expert and mid tier linux users . But i dont support 32 bit Uefi booting out of th box . Unlike Ubuntu and debian based distros , we cant just copy the files inside the iso along with bootia32.efi to a drive and boot . Because we must boot opensuse as a disk image (ISO 9660) otherwise it will fail to to recognize available discs and fail . But , we can't add our new bootia32.efi which is necessity for booting in 32 bit Uefi environment into a iso 9660 file system as it is read only . So , We can't modify files after writing it into a drive using dd or Etcher . This is when already installed Ubuntu helped me . After entering into ubuntu's grub command line i was able to manually configfile into the installation media which i made using dd (or Etcher ) . From there Opensuse booted Successfully . Installed opensuse without selecting a boot partition and i used the existing Ubuntu's grub . Everything gone perfect until i felt ashamed to use Ubuntu when i have Opensuse and was rocking already with bleading edge of the linux word and impressive stability for a rolling release . Deleted everything of Ubuntu except '/boot' space and chill . Lately i discovered that installing grub2-i386-efi and configuring it with a command grub2-install could perform a 32 bit uefi installation . Now i'm full chill bruh and hope i'm gonna complete my UG CS degree with Opensuse Tumbleweed without any instablity 😽😀😀😀 .
