Im using a really old laptop and it has a 32 bit system.

No you can't make that CPU change. Among many other reasons, that Atom CPU is soldered directly to the motherboard.

And "barely any apps that support linux" ? There are thousands. Maybe not what you want to run, but there are many.

Can you make any suggestions then? I'm looking for a cheap and fast laptop with enough space to save alot of files, I'd prefer it be under 300 USD, thanks

Cheap
Fast
Laptop

Choose 2 of the 3.
At the $300 level, "fast" and "laptop" do not go together.

There are budget laptops out there for between 400 and 600 that perform decently. When you dip into the 300s, you are looking at a laptop that can browse the web, and maybe stream some stuff. Most likely it will not come with allot of storage.
What @USAFRet said is correct.
