Existing MM build on 3B+ lagging
-
I have an existing build that uses a 3B+. It has been running for years. I don’t recall the current OS I’m running, but can check it later on. What I’m finding is that the unit is really struggling to run. It takes quite a while to boot, and many of the modules aren’t refreshing. Is the 3B+ just not up to the task anymore with the newer OSs?

@alex2 the new OSs are about 500 meg bigger, and forces a considerable amount of swapping. Older as cards are slow in this area, which compounds the trouble.
There is a bug fix coming next release, oct 1, that might fix the not updating on slow systems -
Noted and thank you for the update. In absence of this bug fix, is the general consensus to migrate to newer hardware? If so, does the PI 4 have the headroom to comfortably do this, or are folks migrating to the PI 5?

@alex2 pi4 should be enough… altho pricing may get you a 5 instead.
