    @musson said in Running on Pi Zero 2 W?:

    MagicMirror working on a lite version, I installed X11 and Chromium

    well, thats not lite really!..

    reports are its 5x faster than pi 0… same as pi 3
    don’t remember how much memory on board…

    make sure to increase the swap space…
    and maybe run off a USB SSD (I boot most of mine from sd card, but run from ssd…

    TGW (Total Gigabytes Written, measure of SSD memory capacity usage) on micro SD is pretty low

                  @lofty73 got mine today, unplugged the pi 0w, and moved the sd card over… up we run…

                  installed electron (cause it wasn’t on the armv6)

                  and runs nice…

                  pretty low cpu usage
