It tried to run the BBB with LinuxCNC back in 2013 and the video
performance was too poor. Frame rate was way too slow. We had better
success with a 4-8 core Allwinner SOC and FPGA.
I tried the Rpi4 last summer and the 4K video was way too unstable. Plus
I need two 4K screens to run the resin printers. 10 year old AMD boards
do a better job. So we still use new AMD x86 to run them.
I might trust a small 3-axis router to a Rpi4 and get LCNC working with
Gentoo:

As for new hardware, people seem to like to run Machine Kit on the Beagle
Bone Black (aka "BBB"). Its a tiny credit card size computer that can run
Linux. I think the BBB is actually more powerful than those old PCs and
it can run off a phone charger.
If you want to run LinxCNC on "modern" hardware it would not be a PC class
compter. That is just total overkill. The Raspberry Pi or the like is all
that is needed now.

Hi,
For reasons I dont understand, many people prefer to use extremely legacy
hardware to run linuxcnc.
Plenty available cheap and no reason to user newer.
