A kaybinding tool to joypad such as ds4 would be great

VNCServer would also be great to be able to remote in.

Remove the 5V warning =)

I agree with vncserver …and the ability to run/boot on m.2 media

That's already there, but you'll need to write the image to your nvme drive.
Disable EEE on boot, will need to be setup as a service, I'll see if I can find the info I found the other day. I'll also check if the driver has a switch to do that as well.
I'm beginning to think the RPi5 is a bit of a lemon for Linuxcnc is some cases.
Honestly at its price point a mini x86 system is a better choice.
The basic Odroid H4 runs in at $99 USD, a little bigger front print.
The only advantage the RPi4 had over an x86 system in terms of use was the ability to use the SPI interface. With the RPi5 that's not an option. And using the GPIOs is more or less on par with using a Parallel port.
In saying that I'll still try and assist rod as much as possible .

VNC should not be included with official releases, it is a huge security risk.

Whilst I agree with tommy in theory, it can depend on the implementation. Turn wifi off on the Rpi and have a direct direction from one machine (that doesn't have another ethernet deivce connected to an outisde network) and it will be fine.

So far I haven't seen any reports of a Linuxcnc installation being hacked via VNC, nor via ssh.

And honestly a RPi in a commercial setting is just bad, due to it not being certified for industrial use.

If a user wants it and is ready to accept the risks it can be installed after installation, forcing upon users who don't want it or an unaware that it is there is not the right decision.

I have a Mesa 7c81 card that would like to use in the servo mode. I have not been able to get the LinuxCNC Pncconf to complete its configuration to complete. It gets stuck with a python error. I edited the python code to fix some of the errors. I would also prefer to use the raspberry 5 and the 7c81 needs the spi to use the 7c81. For some reason the pi 5 only uses 1 screen. If it’s helpful I have time to test running your updates to provide feedback if you don’t have a full HW test bed to help test the code fixes.
