        Which browser should I use?
        Chromium, Midori, Firefox, Surf or is there a better one to help with the load on the RaspberryPi 4-8gb version?
        Since I am running so many modules on one pi under MagicMirror 2.24

          @plainbroke you should not have a problem on pi 4 8gb.

          if you run speed test does the network speed look proper?

          can you do free -m
          you should have no swap

          also run top to look at CPU performance and active processes

            Do I need to get rid of it and if so, how?

              Swap: 99 0 99

              but not used… size 99meg, free 99meg…

              so, its not a memory problem (6862 meg free)

                      no… that is the GPU driver stuff… usually not enabled in /config.txt in 2.26 we disable using the gpu by default to turn off these messages (instead of leaving it on in 2.25 and prior)

                        I am still on 2.24 so I can use MMM-RTSPStream, also still on Jesse for the same reason.
                        Should I run this to remove swap file?
                        sudo swapoff -a -v
                        sudo rm /swapfile

                          @plainbroke so, I would be carefull… newer code doesn’t run on jesse and gosh knows what you have now…

                          4 OS releases back (2017), stretch , buster, bullseye, now bookworm

                          so, you have an 8gig machine, but can only use 2gig (32bit OS)

                              @plainbroke said in MM loading all modules is taking 2-3 minutes.:

                              armv7

                              32bit

                              aaarch64 is 64 bit

                                Can I load the 64bit version without reloading all my MagicMirror modules ect?
                                I tried this :

                                cd ~/MagicMirror
                                export external_browser=midori
                                export ELECTRON_DISABLE_GPU=1
                                DISPLAY=:0 npm start

                                  @plainbroke you have to use my start script to make Midori work, after you install it

                                  change the package json {“start” line to {“start1”

                                  then add a new start line

                                  {"start":"./run-start.sh"},
                                  

                                  and download the run-start.sh from my script repo, and put it in the MagicMirror folder, mark it executable
                                  chmod +x run-start.sh

                                    Which one of the package.json files the one before MagicMirror folder or the one in the MagicMirror folder?

                                        Well I removed the package.json and packagelock.json from the folder MagicMirror sets in and ran your upgrade script and my MM loaded a whole lot faster and only time will tell if it is totally fixed or not…
                                        I appreciate your patients dealing with this issue.
                                        I will definitely add it to my saved stuff.
                                        I would like to try to use a different browser and see if it fixes a few other issues since I am using a 32 bit OS.
