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.

@sdetweil Yes, I’am a bit proud of me. It’s very cool that in this forum are so helpful and nice guys.

@sdetweil

I put a lot of effort into building the Magic Mirror (even a frameless Magic Mirror). Without self-praise I have seen many other Magic Mirrors but mine is by far the most beautiful one and finally a voice control is part of it. It is also completely designed for a Raspberry Pi, so I don’t want to change anything now.

@sdetweil
That’s a cool idea, but I don’t like to change anything on the hardware. I keep that in mind for my next project.

Maybe I just think that response time is slow, although it is fast for a cheap computer like the raspberry.

I use realVNC to see what is on my Mirror.

@sdetweil

Sorry, I’am only just 16 years old and not so good in english. I mean response time and use the RPI 3b+.

Thank you for all your help and your fast replays. Now it finally works with long charging times, but it works. Whenever I stop the Magic Mirror with pm2, the card for the microphone changes, but I can live with that because soon it will hang on the wall and then I won’t stop pm2.

I speak with a german accent.
