I wondered how relevant using an ISO to try before buy was with
VirtuaBox and VMware Player allowing virtual machines.
I thought I'd be smart and see how long it took to install Debian onto
VMware Player. It took 4 minutes to find and install VMNWare player and
8.5 minutes to install the Bullseye.iso and be at the command prompt
I then upgraded to unstable (sid) to time an installation Linuxcnc.
This ended badly with broken dependencies:
Depends: python3 (< 3.10) but 3.10.4-1 is to be installed
Python versions in Debian versions are shown here:
https://packages.debian.org/search?suite=default§ion=all&arch=any&s
earchon=names&keywords=python3 So until Linuxcnc-uspace migrates from
Sid (unstable) to Bookworm (testing), all the hard work on getting it
into Debian has been wasted. Unless we change the dependencies to
allow Python3 > 3.9
Which is what I've been saying since a few days after bullseye was
released with pyhon-3.9.2. So I can't build it on raspios bullseye from
git.
In Debian unstable, the default Python was just upgraded to 3.10, so the
discrepancy between the max version available (3.10) and the default
python (previously 3.9) is gone and the package compiles out of the box.
The package I uploaded to Debian has a tiny patch that disables the
search for 3.10, this one:

It will take a while until the backports reach bullseye - bookworm is
first. Would you give it another try?
Best,
