The problem was using the Pi4 as a *development system*. This means continuous code changes, use of Git and text edits every day for hours. Simply using LCNC is nothing like that.
That said. I don't see the point of using a Pi4 as an LCNC controller? The Pi4 is great and hard to beat if you need a computer to take up little space and use little power or even run on battery power. I have a Pi4 right here on my desk inside a robot as the robot has very limited space and power available. But in the shop, next to the mill and 3D printer is an Intel i5 with 16GB RAM and an actual spinning disk drive (it also happens to be connected to the same file server as the pi4).
