I took you advice and ordered a Lenovo Yoga. The touchscreen is miles better than the cheap display I was planning to use with the Pi. So no more Pi, I'm going touchscreen Yoga and I also have a docking station. The Yoga presently has Windows on it however I have no desire to keep windows.
So regarding getting LinuxCNC up and running on the Yoga:
1) It's never been clear to me if the latest LinuxCNC release is hardware dependent ie. one version for a PC and a different version for say a PI?
2) A link to the correct install file for a PC?
3) A link to a "How to install" , where to get the file, and how to install including over-writing the existing Windows install etc, would be much appreciated.
Thanks in advance,
Jeff

tommylight,Out of curiosity, how much is a RPI and a good touchscreen these days?
Wondering as i got a Lenovo X1 Carbon Yoga for 120 and a Lenovo Yoga Y370 for 220, bot work for LinuxCNC with Mesa, both have 120Hz touchscreens, very high quality ones, very good keyboards, and both do over 4-6 hours on batteries.

To make it easier for you, PC's are not RPI's, so stop thinking the same way about them.
PC is a standard for over 30 years, it changes a lot but everything else changes with it, mostly everything works out of the box in Linux
RPI is a good idea that went belly up very fast and made a huge mess, and nothing works as it should or without wasting huge amounts of time to fix stuff
-
Get the ISO from the downloads page, if you want the official version, burn to USB, boot from USB, install.
-or get the Debian 12 ISO with whatever Desktop Environment you like
-or get the Linux Mint Debian Edition 6
for last two: Burn, boot, install, reboot, then
sudo apt update
sudo apt upgrade
sudo apt install linuxcnc-uspace
