Results of latency test, list of computers tested for use with LinuxCNC
Can I use these kernels on buster too?

I would say that it is usable, and bumping the servo period to 2000000 would further improve chances of usability without to much of a hit in performance.

Where you using a spinny HDD ?
Did you try tuning any of the BIOS power saving settings ?

Yes, the disk is spinny
I did not try tuning any BIOS power settings ... should I try some?
Also, besides loading a full loaded ISO ... do I need to be installing some other dependencies?

Unless you intend building Linuxcnc from source or using qt based screens. I'm can't comment on the Debian based ISOs but the Mint ones I put together will get you up & running without having to install anything apart from the deps for qt if needed if you wish to use one of the "eye candy" screens.
Yes the general rule is to disable as much power saving & speed step options as possible, this is mentioned ad nauseam on just about every thread discussing latency, tho this can cause a laptop to run a little hotter than normal.

Got it. Will try that and run another round of tests. The kernel was not updating even though the updater says a newer version is available... is that by design?

I tested older & newer kernels than the one I put on the ISO. So far I haven't heard of any issues, apart from some teething problems when installing on UEFI systems, which has been addressed.
I can't really comment on the Debian based ISO as I don't use them myself.
Put it this way, if your PC runs for 15 years and without any hardware failures, the system will run without any issues for that time. The kernel and programs don't "get old & die" they will keep going & going.
I would guess that there are systems still running early versions of Linuxcnc on Ubuntu 10 that are performing just as well now as the day there were installed.
