Move on to installing LinuxCNC.

Many thanks for this useful thread

Hello! Installing linuxcnc-uspace_2.9.0~pre0.4570.g29f6618e2_amd64 on Linux Mint 19.3 screenshot error. Please tell me how to fix it?
 

LinuxCNC moved to Python 3 so this tutorial does not work for now.
Please use the official ISO for now, found here:
www.linuxcnc.org/iso/linuxcnc-2.8.2-buster.iso

I hope that a Mint 20 ISO with Python 3 will happen . I know I have become quite fond of Linux Mint.

I will have to steal 2-3 hours of my sleep soon to give that another go, not sure when though ...
Shame on me, i was very fast at this ...

Your efforts are always appreciated tommylight

Should we unsticky this thread now that Mint 20 is a sticky?
