Simple guide for a Novice

Hello.
Is there a simple guide for at novice? or someone who can point me in a direction?
Do we still make a working "machine" and then convert to plasmac or ?

 I tried the mesaCT tool - help- check for updates: a newer version is avaiable for download ? OK..... and how do I then do that. ( it always seems to me that you need 5 years experiance in linux/debian, in order to get started with enything) I NEED VENTING!!!!!

I have Debian 12 - BOOKWORM - MESA 7i96 - THCAD300 - A full mechanical build.

What is my next step ?  simple axis machine and then convert to plasmac or ?
 

If you are using master branch or 2.9 then PnCconf will be able to make a config for you.

I don't think measCT makes QtPlasmaC configs.
