Re: New to Linux, built a computer, need help with Linux please, installation of Linu
I would recommend you download the linuxcnc V 2.8 ISO and install it rather than ubuntu as it includes the necessary real time kernel patch.
If you are feeling adventurous, use the debian Bullseye nonfree ISO and follow these instructions to build Linuxcnc from source.

If the goal is to get used to Linux by building a PC, the build form source method is a good option.
Its basically the only way I have done it.
4 gb is fine, Celeron J1900 USFF and up or an I3 with 4 gb are good candidates.
I bought a MSI all in one PC with touch screen for AUD $120 last week which is running sweet.
