Clean Install of LinuxCNC

Sorry to bug you guys (again) 

I am wanting to revamp my CNC currently running LinuxCNC from 2019, working ok. However I'd like to upgrade with the:
I purchased a new-refurb PC Dell Precision Workstation T7600 PC - onboard dual LAN
Latest version of LinuxCNC  (looking at the Probe Basic interface)
I want to setup an Automatic Tool Changer / tool length sensor / touch plate keep my wireless MPG that I love. 

I was following along with :https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dMKQEXVyMMg LinuxCNC 2.8.2 Download, Install & Probe_Basic GUI Install
but that's 2.8.2 and I think the links weren't working. I got I got "unable to locate package python3-vtk9" and  I couldn't even follow along to:  kcjengr.github.io/probe_basic/quick_start.html the downloads weren't working. So I thought I would consult with the experts... 

What's the best version of LinuxCNC to install for my needs? Any good documentation on how to install and set it up, that I can follow along with? 

I don't mind starting from scratch, currently I have 2.8.4-1-gb7824717b working. 

Thanks for any input!
Randy

 

BookWorm ISO, probably this:
cdimage.debian.org/cdimage/weekly-builds...ting-amd64-DVD-1.iso
The rest seems to work, but i did not install.

Thanks tommylight!
and for your all your help on my project:
www.forum.linuxcnc.org/27-driver-boards/...t-of-precix-5x10-cnc
I am using the MESA 7I92M +7I77 if that matters.

I am downloading that link now, I'll put it on a usb and load it on to the new PC.

THANKS!

Tommy's link is probably OK.
We are only one month from Bookworms official release so I would go here
www.debian.org/devel/debian-installer/
Normally, I use the CD netinst version not a DVD one. The installer should then remove the local apt links to the install medium. 
After installing the DVD 
sudo apt install geany
sudo geany/etc/apt/sources.list
Remove or comment out any references to DVD so it searches the Debian repos.
Then
sudo apt update
sudo apt upgrade
 

The version i linked to has no issues with CD and stuff, i installed it on 2 PC's, it works properly.

Yes I know but it's no longer best practice.  With the release of Bookworm (Debian 12) less than a month away, there have been two release candidates of the installer. They now include the non-free-firmware.

I also found the DVD version (Where I actually burnt it to a DVD) required editing sources.list to stop apt from searching the DVD.
The netinst CD image is meant to remove the CD/DVD searches at the end of the install.

​​​​​​You and I  fix these things on the fly but new users might get stuck,

That is the RC2.

Hey guys, at the environment selection now, what do you guys recommend? Go with the default.  

Thanks for the info rodw and tommylight... I am not very knowledgeable on this stuff and hoping to have this install in use for a while so I want to get it right.  
 

anyone is ok

I recommend XFCE becasue it is an Xorg environment. The defaults shown uses Wayland. 

Linuxcnc is such an old project with a lot of history has been built on Xorg.  There are some recent changes that allow it to work with Wayland but Xorg/Wayland support has  been broken by upstream changes (eg in the dependencies).
​​​​​Not all GUIs support Wayland.

You can run tasksel to add/remove environments at any time and you can select them on thee logon screen.
