30 second freeze? I would not have put up with that for more than a few days. If you need to switch, go with something that is ridiculously well-supported, Unbuntu. Ubuntu is Debian-based but software versions and such are a bit different. I assume you have a reasonably new computer. Ubuntu uses apt but also Snap. Span is great because it bundles all the dependencies. It solves the “version dependency hell” problem although it assumes storage is cheap. (Apple does the same with MacOS, the apps are self-contained)
I wonder if what you have is some kind of hardware issue. > On Apr 11, 2025, at 8:00 PM, gene heskett <ghesk...@shentel.net> wrote: > > Has anyone been successful at making linuxcnc run on Slackware? > > I want to see if its feasible if trixie doesn't fix my now damned near 3 year > old problem with Debian.
