Running on Pi Zero 2 W?
-
@sdetweil ok, trying desktop now.
-
@musson mine doesnt come til tuesday
-
At one point I had MagicMirror working on a lite version, I installed X11 and Chromium but when Electron updated and needed a node.js version that didn’t work on the arm6 CPU I gave up and used a pi 4.
I want to free up the pi 4 and am hoping I can use the new pi zero 2w for MagicMirror. -

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

@sdetweil Its working with the desktop version!!!
Thanks for you help and comments.

@undeterred I should receive mine next week and look forward to building a mirror to check performance.
-
@smartreflectons Its quite responsive.

actually PI os 64 bit now shows aarch64, as does ubuntu on pi. (and jetson nano as I recall)…

New to the Magic mirror scene so still learning but up and running on an old 19" toshiba TV
