Hi BigjohnT thanks for the video tutorial. I am very new to LinuxCNC and hope to replace my current Mach3 and Smooth Stepper setup with it. As such I have a question . Given when the video was made how viable is this build as of 6-11-20?

Is this topic dead? Every single tutorial i have found is like six to nine years old. I'm just getting started with CNC plasma cutting, my shop computer is on Linux because i really dislike windows, but if there's no new tutorials out there to guide newbs, then i might as well not waste my time and just install windows.

Here is an installation tutorial for Debian Trixie fresh off the press today


But yes, the 1500 pages of documentation is my go to guide...
