@mikoto I have an Atom netbook/x86 tablet with like 2gb of RAM just like this.
Apparently it has a 64-bit CPU but has some weird bootloader stuff where it can only boot 32-bit UEFI images? Some distros work out of the box (namely Fedora)
Also got some other distros working like PopOS by using a distro that had a working GRUB, going into the GRUB console, hotswapping the USB out for the desired distro, and then manually booting using its kernel and initrd images. From there you can do basically whatever after installation including installing a version of GRUB that would work.

Apparently the original manufacturer didn't seem to bother with this weirdness either since it came with 32-bit Windows 8
