Hello you  all,
I've just installed the linuxcnc on one of my computers, and when it worked correctly I decided to take a membership.

I wonder if the peremtive kernel is the same or similar to ubuntu studio kernel. I commonly running my computers on ubuntustudio kernels (it's my poor mans mac). In the beginning of ubuntustudio i also ran on real rt kernels, so I'm quite familiar with that to.

If there are any problems I would like to have some advices. If it's possible to run linuxcnc on ubuntustudio or the  other way  around would  be nice. To run ubuntustudio applications at the same time as I'm carving my pcb's it's not the case, both are to critical to mix. But to use the same installation for both purposes without the need to reboot  the other kernel would be nice.

So my question is, concretely: have anyone tried or are there any problems combining ubuntustudio and linuxcnc?

If you already have an install of studio, in a terminal
sudo apt update
sudo apt install linuxcnc-uspace
should install everything, except maybe not the real time kernel as Ubuntu had removed it a while back, no idea if it is back.
If the kernel is not installed, do a search for linux-image 6.11 with RT in the name, and install that.
Studio uses a preemptive kernel, LinuxCNC uses a fully preemtable kernel, so not exactly the same thing, again a while back.
The real time kernel should be soon in normal Debian distros.
There was also the option of installing all the studio apps on normal Ubuntu or Mint or Debian, if all else fails.
