Yes, there have not been kernels or installers built for it for some
time.

It will support i386 packages but will not have an i386 installer or
kernel. You could install bookworm and dist-upgrade to it, leaving you
with an old and (explicitly instead of effectively) unmaintained kernel.

If your device supports an amd64 kernel then I think you are much better
off switching to that kernel in-place while using bookworm and then
letting it dist-upgrade to trixie. Though a full reinstall to amd64
would be even better, of course.

Thanks,
Andy
