I've tried a few times Stretch but I notice is not the same as in Jessie. System and Apps installed works better on Jessie.
It's been 10 years since i bought this one. Maybe it's time to die it with Jessie LTS. At the end of LTS (2020) i'll disconnect from the internet and use it locally for my personal purposes.
i686 is near of long sleep.
I will buy a new desktop for sure to start a new fresh adventures on Linux.
In my opinion, buying a new computer is the most optimal solution.
