Reinhard I guess you have forgotten or never used Slackware. You want stable, you want reliable, you want Slackware. Sure you need to sort out dependencies but at least when you add new software you know what is being installed. And no systemd. But I admit I started with Linux around ‘98, when things weren’t polished and successfully getting a dial up connection was a major achievement. Running X on available scrounged hardware required patience. Personally Mint isn’t my choice for Linuxcnc, Debian makes sense, XFCE works well as the desktop environment. Any file editing or for copying files I generally use midnight commander. Anyways enough rambling from this ignorable madman.
