@sdetweil
I want to upgrade my Magic Mirror from a Pi 3 to the new Pi 5 because my old one takes almost an hour to boot — it’s basically dead already.

A lot of the modules I use don’t really get updates anymore.
Do you think I could run into serious problems if I reinstall all of them on the new Pi 5?

When I set everything up last time, I had issues with almost every module because of Node.js versions and similar things.

I’m not a coder, so I’m not really able to tweak the modules myself to fix compatibility issues.

I have a unit with a 3B+ and I’m having much of the same issue. It seems to just hang and many modules are no longer updating.

@karsten13 @BKeyport and @Linas123 I have been running MM on trixie since Feb or April I think, No issues. Only issues I had was with the control of my monitor on and off via a scripts but I documented that and posted it in the forum as well.

@alex2 Could just need a refresh of the core - sometimes over many updates things will stick just because the OS, NPM, node.js and/or Magicmirror have updated so many times and they just get confused.

I generally rebuild my system with every major OS release that supports my PIs. Copy off the config files and start fresh.
