There are a few differences, like the location of config.txt, locales can be a hit and miss trying to set them up, even when using the supplied menu-config utility. For the RPi5 the biggest issue is the display, for whatever reason when used with an RPi5 it appears the EDID information is not being read from the display\monior\clay-tablet\slate\cave-wall or whatever the user has connected up or there could be some "special sauce being missed". I tried a couple of different fixes, most related to the RPi4 as there was not a lot regarding this on the RPi5 and "non foundation images". This has been mentioned a few times on the forum. The solution I used was a "foundation image", compiled a suitable kernel and then built Linuxcnc packages from source. As is my preference I installed an XFCE desktop and used raspi-config to change from Wayland to X as the Wayland compatibility layer for X I found some what slow. Unfortunately due to no SPI driver for the RPi5 and not wanting to starting ripping things apart in the Mill's control box to get access to my mesa ethernet hardware the little Rpi5 is resting. Tho I do have a PCIe NVME board to try out. Tho I will say it is quiet the beast and does compile a kernel and Linuxcnc at quite a good clip, that's just with the SD card, I suspect other storage mediums may improve the "rate of clip".
