If I wanted to set up a Pi4 with LinuxCNC and a touch screen is there any

You may want to use "touchy" with a touch screen, it is
designed for that.
You need a red and a green button and a jog dial, too. With
that, you can
pretty much control the system with no keyboard at all. The
jog dial can be used to scroll through menus like a scroll
wheel on a mouse. The reason I did not like it is because
there was no 3D preview of the G-code program. That has
been very helpful when setting up and to verify where
the origin is, and that you have loaded the right program.
I think touchy now has a 3D preview tab as well.
