I would like to install Linux Porteus on my Acer Aspire SW5-012 tablet. It has an atom processor which is 64-bit but a UEFI bootloader which is 32-bit.

I was told that I could use Grub2 and make 64-bit Linux Porteus compatible. It only has the 32-bit Windows 10. I haven't been able to get it to boot to either the 32-bit Linux Porteus or the 64-bit Linux Porteus.

I used RUFUS to create a bootable USB for both versions. I used Grub2 to alter the EFI but it doesn't seem to stick. I need to find a cfg file to load into Grub2.

I'm completely lost. I have had no luck.

As your problem is that you could not boot linux on an acer, have a look at the answer to this question which worked for me, to resolve booting linux on an acer that refused to boot linux, however, it is for a different acer model, and different acer models seem to have different problems installing and/or booting linux. At least it should give you some ideas in the right direction.
