Beginners • Re: what am i doing wrong

so mine is a 64 bit ? so it would be best if i was to get a 4 or a 5.

Everybody's Raspberry Pi 3 B is 64 -bit.

RPi4B and RPi[5] boards are also 64-bit.


The lowest specification RPi4B board also has 1GB of system RAM. Although it has more cpu power you may find it has the same constraint on memory usage.

The lowest specification RPi[5] board comes with 2GB of system RAM.

It would certainly be better for Raspberry Pi if you were to buy a new RPi4B or RPi[5]. But I am a volunteer helper in these forums, not a sales promoter.

Also note that the power supply arrangements for the later boards are incompatible with the 5 volt power supply you are probably using for your RPi3B.

....... Is there a way i can get a list of commands ?

Raspberry Pi have a book called something like 'Conquering the Command Line.'

Or just use TAB completion at a shell prompt. Most commands have basic documentation available via the man command.

So you can type to find out what it does and what options can be used with it.


But Debian Linux has thousands of commands. You probably need to approach your problem a different way.
