Perhaps, but non of the major distros I know. Since a long time ago Ubuntu 32 bit kernels by default have PAE enabled, so if a non-PAE kernel should be required, the user needs to build it. Ubuntu will drop 32 bit architecture support in a few years for their "normal" ISOs and repositories, but there still will be ports to get regular 32 bit architecture packages, let alone that 32 bit architecture won't be dropped for Ubuntu snaps. Arch will continue 32 bit architecture, but perhaps enable SSE2 for some packages, that don't have it enabled now. Note, Arch has got a FreeBSD alike build system, ABS, so users could easily build packages with SSE2 disabled. Regards, Ralf
