Hans, This is what I mean. People here have never bothered to get familiar with the greatest achievement in the dev area in 20 years! Debian packaging!
Debian Bookworm (aka testing) has been installable from an ISO on the Debian web site ever since Bullseye was released. Google run their whole organisation on bookworm..... Don't believe the rot about it being unstable. The current kernel is 6.0 from memory. I would start with the Bookworm alpha release which includes the non-free firmware (which will be included as standard when it goes live) https://www.debian.org/devel/debian-installer/ I usually use the net installer otherwise you might have to comment out the CD lines in sources.list In recent days, Linuxcnc does not seem to like the Wayland based graphical environments in Bookworm (eg the default gnome), Instead I recommend installing our old favourite XFCE which is Xorg based. If you forget this, you can do it later by using tasksel and select XFCE later from the log on screen. Do not add a root password so the default user can use sudo. Once Debian is installed, all you need to do is type: sudo apt-get install linuxcnc-uspace sudo apt-get install linuxcnc-uspace-dev (for the dev tools like halcompile) sudo apt-get install mesaflesh (for mesa users) Thats it! PREEMPT_RT gets installed and everything will be in the cnc menus etc due to the magic of Debian. You might like to disable autologon and the screensaver. This will vary between gnome and xfce so a quick google will tell you how to do it. It will install happily on a VM on Windows such as VMware player or virtual box.
