(superseeded) Linuxcnc on Linux Mint 19.3 quick and easy installation

I still use it and A friend of mine does. But if we are the only ones then we could switch

You can always keep the installation and build your own packages from source.
There is a package available in my repo called linuxcnc-build-deps that installs the stuff to build linuxcnc from git sources.

According to the results, your machine seems to work on swap: "Swap useage: prerun: 16732, running: 27432" Add ram! Add 2 ram bars of same size. I would not go under 4GiB.

I didn't quite understand, my motherboard accepts a maximum of 4gb, I could put two memories of 2gb giving 4gb or I can put two memories of 1gb giving 2gb, which would be the best option?

I'm not able to find Kingston or Markvision memories, I just found Digitron, Smart and Microware, but I don't know if they are good ... I don't know these brands.

I was about to say that Clive uses it ....... to late !

In the case of RAM: more helps more!

Taken from your test results here : [Obs: need to work on my script again, seems confusing]
If your MoBo has two slots, you can go up to 8GiB. With 4GiB, there should not be any change in swap usage, while running the script.
