    Reason I ask, John, is if not you may need to install the LinuxCNC ISO image similar to what Clive links to, in which case I wouldn't go too far down the path you're following, if you find yourself re-installing down the line
    The link I put up is https://forum.linuxcnc.org/9-install...int-iso#165631 the RT version with Mint with linuxcnc and wifi support and is simple to upgrade .

    In a terminal type

    sudo apt-get update
    then
    sudo apt-get dist-upgrade

    will get you the latest packages


    If you want the official version :- http://www.linuxcnc.org/iso/linuxcnc-2.8.0-buster.iso The Debian 10 Buster ISO uses a PREEMPT-RT patch

    But in my opinion the mint one is a lot more user friendly.
