How do I get x86/i386 architecture? I want to get 32 bit, not 64 bit guests without being forced to use the xen qemu-system-i386. Because many things in that functionality I can install because they conflict with some Qubes packages.

libvirt.libvirtError: unsupported configuration: Unknown architecture i386
and
libvirt.libvirtError: unsupported configuration: Unknown architecture x86

Any chance for information on this please?

Thanks in advance.

Uhh stupid question but what is stopping you from installing a 32bit
guest in a 64bit VM?

No such thing as a stupid question.

Answer: Nothing is stopping me from installing into a 64 bit environment, but I want a 32 bit environment for some things. I'm a developer/programmer/coder, so it's just something that I need, and I was hoping there would be an easier way than using qemu-system-i386 all the time and having that integrate into the Xen Domains. So I thought there must be a way for it to work in Qubes, so I'm asking about i386 in Qubes version of Xen.
