So in my case, I have an old laptop with Peppermint OS for 32 bits based on Debian, therefore I thought that some Debian users with 32 bits could have the same situation too.
Thanks for your understanding.

I like Brackets. It's open source, and comes in bother 64 and 32 bit
versions. You can even try it online to see if it's right for you. https://cpuesw.remstal-metallbau.de/

Hello Friends
Pls, Could you share your best recommendation(s) about GUI editors but for 32 bits?
For example, I've already read the following post:

Hi dr_pompeii,
The optimum method in your case would to be to search the Synaptic Package Manager of your 32bit computer, all the tools and software listed will be for 32bit, including GUI text editors. Go to the search spy glass at the top right of Synaptic and type text editor. Then review each entry with its profile description or visit their home page for more details.
The Nano text editor is a system default in Xfce and most Linux distros, which I use for editing system files, when carrying out tweaks to the system, via the terminal. For making notes I can refer back to as an aide-memoir, (Xfce's GUI text file) Mousepad does pass muster. If you want more features such as spell-check etc, if gedit is still offered in 32bit, this does have these extra features.
If you want it for coding purposes, emacs, vim and vi are what my peers in the early days of my continuous Linux journey, impressed upon me as the pinnacle of Linux text editor usage. Grafiksinc our lead developer prefers uses geany to produce all his code related tasks. Aaron, a fellow developer who has moved to pastures new, loved vi and vim, being an old school computer professional who ran numerous servers and computers, from the CLI sphere.
Hope that helps.
❤️

About Synaptic Package Manager thanks for the suggestion, but for example does not appear neither NotepadQQ nor Geany.
About the terminal editors, thanks for the suggestions ... I am aware about nano and vim, the most known ... btw in other forum was suggested "Micro" - https://micro-editor.github.io - but to get skills of them, mostly for Vim sadly I don't have enough time... of course both are on my todo list ... due this I prefer go with a desktop editor.
....
I will try all your editors. My goal is use an editor for script purposes, .sh files, have colors enabled by default for the script syntax and is possible have multiple tabs opened.
BTW: I did do create the same question on the "itsfoss" forum and was suggested NotepadQQ and Geany - I installed the former through snap and well ... it goes well ... I am going to install Bluefish and Geany

To be honest when I did do the research about these GUI Editors I discarded quickly Geany because according with its own home page its latest release was on "October 2021" - but the following is funny: when I installed NotepadQQ, later I did do realize through its github account that its latest release is even older than Geany.

Geany is still maintained, their last commit was a few months ago :-)
It is a true opensource .org project after all I would not expect super fast updates, especially if they are just weekend working on it....
With that said though you could always try VSCode its one of those more modern editors, its backed by Microsoft, they try to contribute to corporate opensource but they use the MIT License... many of my colleagues have really high marks for it https://github.com/microsoft/vscode/blob/main/LICENSE.txt
They get daily updates if that is what you are looking for. Just make sure you understand they collect data as you use it. https://code.visualstudio.com/License/
Good luck on finding our editor

Agree, but it has not been released yet - I mean, at https://github.com/geany/geany the latest commit were 5 months and 1 month ago, but in the same page appears Geany 1.38 Latest on Oct 9, 2021 . Same data shown at https://www.geany.org as Geany 1.38 is out! - October 2021 as I indicated ...

Yes, I understand clearly the efforts of them. My mistake was that I did not see the Github account
With that said though you could always try VSCode its one of those more modern editors,
Pls, remember, my old notebook (Acer Aspire) is based on 32 bits, and VSCode is for 64 bits .
They get daily updates if that is what you are looking for
About that, my concern was avoid install something without support ... therefore without option to get patches and bugs fix
Just make sure you understand they collect data as you use it.
I see ... it is usual ...
Good luck on finding our editor
I am going to try with Geany and Bluefish. The screenshots encourage to me to taste them

Cavy is right I am a huge of Geany fan, I do almost all my work my work with it
https://www.geany.org/
Hello to all friends.
Huge Thanks to all for the valuable answers. Sorry by my delay
Steve:
It seems better use Bluefish
