Download, install, update, upgrade, then -
If you also need development stuff -
If you need mesaflash to flash firmware for Mesa boards -
Linux Mint Debian Edition was always much slower than the normal Mint, this time it is a bit faster!
That is a nice surprise, took 9 seconds to boot from Grub Menu to full Desktop on an old Lenovo 93 something, with RT kernel, no less! Me happy!

For RTAI kernel see here

Fingers crossed . I hope it works

I have already installed it, it works fine. While the touch screen from the ATM does not work, you need to install the driver, on MX Linux 21 it works without problems. Installed as written in #280961 are four more   different ones on Debian 12. 

Can we run linuxcnc 2.9 and qtplasmac on this version of mint?

No idea, had no time to test.
As soon as possibly ... possible!

Yes, it works in the simulator, but I only have a milling cutter.

So most probably it works!
Thank you.

Installed, confirmed, tested, confirmed again, surprised by boot time!
-QtPlasmaC works out of the box
-QtDragon works out of the box

Going to attach a Mesa 7i92 (without "T") to it and leave it running for a day or two.

Aha. I came to the Install forum specifically to see if there was a post about LMDE. When I read that their new version is now based on Bookworm, I instantly thought of LinuxCNC. My favorite distro now supports my favorite machine control software with minimal effort. What could be better?

Thanks for testing this, and posting.

I don’t know why it becomes stuck after installing lmde6 and rt kernel.
It takes more than ten seconds from entering the password to entering the desktop
Opening lcnc is also very slow
