I have two Pi 1B's that dont crash upon a gravity update (one with and one without the +):
$ cat /proc/device-tree/model; echo
Raspberry Pi Model B Rev 1
$ cat /proc/device-tree/model; echo
Raspberry Pi Model B Rev 2
I'd say focus on getting it to work on the Pi instead.
I have some tips in below link like for example expanding memory a bit to keep the OOM reaper out of the door:
And depending Pi model, you can check with below for under-voltage messages that can crash your Pi and worst case can corrupt the filesystem:
sudo journalctl --full --no-hostname --pager-end --grep voltage
