Installing 32-bit Linux distribution on 32-bit Architecture with 32-bit UEFI

There's a lot of information on installing 64-bit Linux on 32-bit UEFI. It's a mess even here, but I've seen ways (rEFInd, etc). But this laptop (HP Envy X2) has a 32-bit architecture and exclusively EFI (no CSM / legacy BIOS). So, how can I install a **32-bit** Linux distribution on a **32-bit** architecture, with **EFI** only? At this point I'd be fine with pretty much any distribution. But if there's choice, I'd go with Arch-based, or Debian-based. I have experience in GNU/Linux and installation / etc. I'm looking for EFI-specific help. The laptop currently runs Windows 10 with basically no drivers, but I have access to Debian and Windows on my desktop. Thanks! PS: [This](https://unix.stackexchange.com/questions/251705/32bit-or-64bit-linux-distro-with-32bit-uefi-support) is not a duplicate as the questioner is (I believe) wrong in believing that the X2's CPU supports 64-bit. The answer there is also merely a distribution name.
