Update;
Distro used is Trixie.
Linuxcnc version is 2.9.4 as that what is on the Debian Trixie repo, there is an issue with the pacakges for Trixie at linuxcnc.org.
One image for an RPi5 or Rpi4, kernel has 4k pages rather than 16k that the RPi5 can use.
Managed to work out how to change the boot splash screen, now has a "chips" logo display during boot.

Whilst it does do auto login, the login screen uses a wallpaper found on the forum, maybe user robertspark, so if you log out the login screen will have the above picture shown.

xfce-teminal is configured for a login terminal, so no need to add an env variable when running anything Linuxcnc related from terminal.

More or less ready for testing if anyone is keen.
Looking in to turning some services off that aren't really required for a CNC (should help with latency, maybe??)
To burn to boot medium, it's the same process as you would for a normal raspio image. Use RPi Imager, set up your settings, first boot is as the raspios. Then when it's all setup it will autologin with the user you used in your settings. No default user or password used.
