Just a heads up for Gene: for when you upgrade one of your machines
(or replace disks). Linuxcnc is now a full package in Debian at least
on amd64 (and possibly on arm64).

It pulls in large amounts of dependencies, so I didn't install it myself
but apt-cache show linuxcnc should give you the details.

It might not be the weekly bleeding edge you seem happy to troubleshoot
but it might be good enough for a clean install. In that case, I'd
recommend a minimal text only install - without desktop initially - then
installing linuxcnc, then optionally installing a desktop using tasksel
to make sure that you get a usable minimum.

That would also give you a clean install base for troubleshooting :)

All the very best, as ever,

Andy
