I think I would add that Linux Lite is aimed at keeping older, modest hardware running rather than tossing away a perfectly good machine just because it's not upgradable to the demands of big, resource-hungry operating systems like Windows 10
Also correct.
Having said that, I'm preparing for lots of hate mail when we drop 32bit next year :-\

Currently 50% of registrations on the database are using 32bit Jerry. That is a LOT of newbies to cast adrift because of what an OS provider (UBUNTU) has dictated is obsolete.
The decision of course is yours, but I believe it would be a let down on what you have started.
I would encourage you to look at starting a Debian 32bit fork of LL.. so the good work can continue for older, but still functioning, hardware.
My 2Cs worth.
BTW, out of interest I recently tried a full install of ANTIX on my 32bit Fuji and found it nowhere as intuitive as LL.
