Raspberry Pi OS • Re: Pi Zero 2 W - OS help?

$

Hello, I just picked up a Pi 2 Zero W as my old first gen Zero was not keeping up with the newer OSes.

I grabbed the Nov 19th 3gb 64 bit Bookworm image and put it on the 2 Zero.

Straight out of the gate, both Chromium and Firefox recommend you don't run them with less than 1GB of ram, and when I do it anyway, the device just locks up- or runs so slowly it might as well be locked up.

I launched Dillo, it locked up, or at least failed to connect with connect.raspberrypi.com. Wifi is up as sudo apt update worked fine.

I tried to install midori, and sudo apt install midori failed to find midori.

Would an older OS image or perhaps a 32bit version be a better way to go?

Do any of the images include midori or a browser that a 2 Zero can actually launch and use?
You probably need to increase the swap space. The command "swapon" will give information about the current swap space allocation:

Code:

pi@MagicMirror:~$ swaponNAME      TYPE SIZE   USED PRIO/var/swap file   2G 491.9M   -2pi@MagicMirror:~$
To increase the swap space, edit /etc/dphys-swapfile, change CONF_SWAPSIZE=2048, and reboot. There maybe other ways but this is how I do it.
