Please use the official release found here:
linuxcnc.org/downloads/
Use this tutorial only if you have issues with dirvers, be it WiFi or graphic or else, ..
This is the easiest way to get Linuxcnc working on Debian Buster:
--Download the non-free version of Debian as the free version has no proprietary drivers included and may result in non functioning hardware, from here
-
cdimage.debian.org/images/unofficial/non.../current-live/amd64/
-
----In case the above link does not work, change the number 4 in the address to 5, where the debian version is. So 10.4.0 becomes 10.5.0 or 10.6.0 etc. Only needed when a new version of Debian is released. Also do please notify us so we can fix the link.
-
--Choose BT if you have bittorrent client installed or iso-hybrid for normal download
--Write the downloaded ISO to a USB drive using DD in linux or win32imager in windows
--Boot from that USB, make sure the BIOS is set to boot from USB devices, if not repeatedly click on F9 or F11 or F12 as soon as you press the power switch, that should get you the choice of bootable devices, choose USB, not UEFI-USB, if at all possible.
--Let it boot too the desktop, click on "install debian" on the desktop.
--Reboot, remove the USB.
- Method 1:
Download the attachment, unzipping it to your Downloads folder, double click on "install.sh" and choose "run in terminal" . If that does not work then type these lines in terminal:

./install.sh
Press Y once when prompted and reboot when finished.

Additional info:
It seems the this Debian has issues with USB WIFI dongles with the Realtek hardware, so in case you see the wireless networks but it will not connect, open a terminal and paste this:
sudo ln -s /dev/null /etc/systemd/network/99-default.link
