On hp pavilion x2 detachable with uefi 32 bits , i am about to install opensuse 42.2 .
But i read in different places that this machine has 32 bits UEFI .
Will opensuse 42.2 be able to install a correct grub for such uefi ?
No, probably not. There’s a feature request to add this support, but it has not yet been acted upon.
Easy way might be to first install Debian (or perhaps Ubuntu also works), with a minimalist install in as small a partition as you can manage. Then install openSUSE in its own partition(s), and get it to install legacy booting. Finally, update the bootloader in your Debian or Ubuntu install, so that it can now boot openSUSE.
are you experienced with installing opensuse? It can be done by a few manual interactions prior to boot and during installation, I had to do so for an HP laptop last year.

That’s understood.
This looks complex.
But i thank you for your answer ;o)
