update the raspberry os needed?

[bdream]

Hi, maybe it’s a stupid question but I have to ask …

I run MM for a long time now and from time to time I run updates to MM (using Sam’s Script :beaming_face_with_smiling_eyes: ). mostly all went fine.

My question is, if there is a need to update raspberry os also? Maybe for security reason?

@bdream not unless u see some functional need

@bdream No need, I’ve been running on old OSes for a while now - mostly because I want to keep using OMXPlayer.

@BKeyport and @sdetweil
Many thanks for your replies!
I go and let it as it is :beaming_face_with_smiling_eyes:

Have a great day!

@bdream last week i have updated my MM-RasPi3B+ from Stretch (9) to Buster (10) and then to Bullseye (11) and the only problem was the rotation about 90°. The command display_rotate=1 in boot/config.txt was deleted.

I took the switch from DarkSky to OpenWeatherMap as an opportunity to do the os upgrade on all RaspPi’s (3xRPI3B+, 2x RPI4, 1xRPI400) right away because I like to be up to date with the operating systems.
