Raspberry alternative or different OS?

[Joern]

Hello,

I’m using MM since years but since last year it is crashs more and more. Freeram, restart every 6h and similar already help but seems to get worse.

I use only
Google Maps
ImageslideShow
iFrame for Videostream (this seems to impact heavy)

• tiny items as calendar &…

HW itseld is not really used on CPU, but RAM is always running out.

Do you suggest a different OS or are 4GB of PI4 simple not enough for that? Since RAM is fairly empty after restart I assume only trashed full over time.
Also restart via PM2 does not really empty it…

Today even install does not run :-(

Edit using - PI OS - Buster now runs as before:

When I fresh start MM:

@joern this sounds like a corrupt SD card.

the memory technology is write once. when writing again the prior bits are marked as used.
problem, the file system does not know, and there is no signal of full…

so then it ‘thinks’ it wrote out data but it didn’t.
the only fix is a new card. maybe you can read some older stuff off.
