Yes, balena works for me,too.

Great! Please test it out a bit and give me some feedback

It seems that we are using a slightly different compression method that the PI imager does not like.

Hi,
I have tested it a bit on my lathe with gmoccapy. So far so good. With my old iso I had some latency errors they are gone. The audio error on raspberry pi 5 persists.
And I can't move/rotate the gcode viewer with touchscreen.

Balena works well.

Screen resolution works so much better than anything I have seen so far. Jitter is good and sim looks smooth.

Problems, I have no sound, no Wi-Fi, no network manager and no update manager.

Thank you for all the work.
Scott

Scott,
Please read the Linuxcnc downloads page.
Typing: sudo menu-config
allows you to set wifi and locale etc.

Configuring fixed ip address etc for ethernet card, can be done manually as described if you type: man hm2_eth

We removed networkmanger I had added it in and latency suffered on the pi4b

If you really need to use it, you can install synaptics: sudo apt install synaptic 
I prefer to search for the package names in Debian Package search  packages.debian.org/index
and use sudo apt install package-name

When you say you don't have sound, this is  a known issue, one of the upstream guys was going to review that for me as its a limitation of their installer. Their first priority was to fix the compression settings so it can be installed with rpi-imager.

I don't think it will be wise to use sudo apt upgrade becasue we have a custom built PREEMPT_RT kernel we have built from source using a kernel version not in Debian Bookworm..

Note the ethercat repos are installed if you want to go that way.

Hi,
I found another small bug. Then I change a tool the icons of the desktop menu become visible (see picture below).

That is nothing to do with the installation process. I can't help. Report in the correct GUI section
