I have the Pi OS running on it. Can't SSH into it yet. Seems certificate exchange is problematic.
I believe what I have running on the Pi4 is 2020-09-08-linuxcnc-2.8.0-pi4.img Likely I should update that. But I want the Pi OS on the laptop and then want to be able to install LinuxCNC to essentially have the Pi4 user interface but also be able to run LinuxCNC. Just not sure how.
