Hey guys, at the environment selection now, what do you guys recommend? Go with the default.  

Thanks for the info rodw and tommylight... I am not very knowledgeable on this stuff and hoping to have this install in use for a while so I want to get it right.

I recommend XFCE becasue it is an Xorg environment. The defaults shown uses Wayland. 

Linuxcnc is such an old project with a lot of history has been built on Xorg.  There are some recent changes that allow it to work with Wayland but Xorg/Wayland support has  been broken by upstream changes (eg in the dependencies).
​​​​​Not all GUIs support Wayland.

You can run tasksel to add/remove environments at any time and you can select them on thee logon screen.

Thanks rodw, I ended up reinstalling it a 4th time and linuxCNC seems to be running on sim AXIS. Thanks to your documentation here: docs.google.com/document/d/1jeV_4VKzVmOI...I_PhCm1x7oiw8VcLFdiY
Made that much easier no issues following along with it.
So thanks for that, I am working on networking next.

I like to use anydesk to connect to it and it doesn't seem to work with wayland so I was happy to use the XFCE you recommended.
