I remember searching around alot about that (it shipped with 7 starter, which was confusing the issue for me) and not being able to run 64bit docker images at the time, so I might have the model wrong. It's been quite a few years though so I might dig it out and check again now that I'm older and smarter.
There still Linux support, yeah, but last time I pulled it out there was enough friction in the apps I was trying to run to just send me back to using more modern hardware.
