Re: [CAD_CAM_EDM_DRO] LinuxCNC laptops

I don't know about this particular issue, but one of the main
differences between the EMC2 packaged Ubuntu version and the normal
Ubuntu distro is that it runs a real time kernel which is designed to
help prevent this sort of interruption, at least at the OS level. It
makes the computer slower for GUI and other tasks, but a lot better
for CNC controls.
